Serves 2 / Richly colored yams and toasted coconut make this a lovely and nutritious side dish, served in individual ramekins.

2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon minced crystallized ginger
1 tablespoon unsweetened grated coconut

1. Place peeled yam in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to boil; cook 20-30 minutes until tender. Drain and return to pan.
2. Preheat broiler and lightly oil two 1/2-cup ramekins. Mash yam with orange juice and honey or maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine ginger and coconut. Spoon yam mixture into ramekins, and sprinkle ginger mixture over top.

Could an argument be made that spiked supplements are in reality mislabeled pharmaceuticals? The manufacturers know what the ingredients are. They have neglected to proper label their pharmaceutical product. Could this be a situation to be addressed by the pharmaceutical industry with punishment in accordance with mislabeled pharmaceuticals?
