Smoky Sweet Potato with harissa yogurt

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: olive oil, garlic, yellow onion and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the shallots and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the sweet potato and let it smoky, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the ground cumin along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with flaky sea salt and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
