Candied Sweet Potatoes

October 14, 2009

Sweet potatoes, peeled and evenly sliced in rounds 6 mm thick (3 medium)
Butter, salted (4 tbsps)
Brown sugar (1/4 cup)
Marshmallows (approx. 20 mini)

Preheat oven to 375F. Layer sweet potatoes in casserole dish large enough to fit them and has a lid. Poke in the butter so that it will melt evenly over all the sweet potatoes. Bake for 20 minutes then add brown sugar evenly throughout dish, stir the sweet potatoes, then place marshmallows on top. Bake for 20-30 more minutes or until completely tender. If you don’t like your marshmallows completely melted, wait until the end to add them to the top.

Sweet Potato Ravioli with Walnut Sauce

September 6, 2009

Filling:
Sweet Potato (2 medium)
Russet Potato (1 medium)
Butter (2 tbsps)
Salt
Pepper
Parmesan (3/4 cup)
Parsley
Walnuts, toasted, minced (1/2 cup)

Sauce:
Butter (3 tbsps)
Shallot, minced (1 small)
Garlic, minced (3 cloves)
Walnuts, toasted, chopped (3 tbsps)
Cream (1 cup)
Parmesan (3/4 cup)
Parsley
Salt (1 tbsp)
Pepper

Ravioli:
Egg (White or Beaten)
Wonton Wrappers (or homemade pasta)

Preheat oven to 375F. Pierce potatoes with fork. Bake 50-60 minutes or until completely tender.

Break potatoes in half and set one half down in ricer, flesh side down. Press potato through ricer into medium bowl; remove and discard skin. Repeat until all potatoes have been riced. Add butter, salt, pepper, cheese, parsley, and walnuts and mix well.

To prepare sauce, melt butter in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallet; saute 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute an additional 2 minutes. Stir in walnuts and saute 1 minute. Pour in cream and reduce heat to low, simmering for 4 minutes. Stir in cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.

To make ravioli, fill each wonton wrapper with 1 teaspoon filling, brush all sides with egg, and close sides to form a triangle. Use tines of fork to press edges of ravioli together to seal, making sure there are no air pockets. This process takes a while because you’ll be making enough raviolis for about 6 meals. Grab a partner to help speed up this part.

Fill large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a boil. Cook ravioli for 1 minute if you used wonton wrappers or 2 minutes for homemade pasta. Use slotted spoon to remove ravioli from water. Divide evenly among plates; spoon sauce over each portion.
