Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a small saucepan, gently warm ¼ cup of olive oil with a fresh rosemary sprig for 5–7 minutes.
  2. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 4–5 cm thick squares. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet.
  3. Add the sweet potatoes in a single layer, searing for about 5 minutes until golden.
  4. Gently flip the sweet potatoes, add minced garlic and thyme, and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Pour in enough vegetable stock to cover halfway up the sweet potatoes, then cover and reduce heat to low, braising for 20–25 minutes.
  6. In a blender, combine smoked almonds, vegetable stock, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth.
  7. To serve, spread smoked almond cream on a plate, add sweet potato fondants on top, drizzle with rosemary oil, and garnish.

Notes

Ensure uniform cutting of sweet potatoes and do not overcrowd the pan for perfect browning. Prepare in advance to make entertaining easier.
