Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before use. This can be done the day before if you wish.
To make the puree: Place the chopped onion and garlic with the butter and cook for 2 minutes on medium heat. Add the peeled and small diced sweet potato and wet with the white wine and cook for 5 minutes. Add the vegetable stock, season with salt, pepper and ground nutmeg and cook on low for 15-20 minutes.
