In the last few weeks I received many messages from different people in Argentina asking me to prepare some Argentine recipe for FMD. Since at the beginning of the year I promised that in 2018 I would make some of the recipes that you ask me, I decided to share a recipe inspired by Argentine cuisine.
Dulce de batata is a traditional dessert from Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, made from sweet potato, in my version I wanted to add squash to make it more original. I have used butternut squash, but you can also use different varieties. It is an easy dessert to prepare, delicious and 100% vegan, and is an excellent way to eat vegetables. I hope you like it 😉
