Ingredients:  
4 Medium-Large Sweet Potatoes
Olive Oil

1 T olive oil
1 cup diced onions
1 cup red bell peppers
4 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 T grated peeled ginger root
1 T curry powder
1/2 t ground turmeric
1/4 t cayenne pepper
1/2 t salt
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained
plain yogurt, optional
Directions:
Directions:
1. Pierce the sweet potatoes in several places with a fork, and rub with olive oil. In a 450 degree oven, bake until soft enough that a fork inserted into the middle of the potatoes meets little resistance, about 45 minutes.

2. While the sweet potatoes bake, in a large skillet, warm the oil on medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions have softened. Stir in the ginger, curry powder, turmeric, cayenne and salt. Add the chickpeas and heat thoroughly. Set aside until the sweet potatoes are baked.

3. When the sweet potatoes have baked, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp, leaving a shell at least 1/4 inch thick. Set the shells aside. Mash the pulp a bit and stir it into the skillet. If the stuffing has cooled, turn on the heat under the skillet and rewarm. If the stuffing seems crumbly, add a little water to hold it together.

4. Fill the baked sweet potato shells with stuffing. Serve each separately or push the halves of each sweet potato together, with stuffing showing between the two shells. Offer yogurt at the table.
