Sweet Potato Mash With Caramelised Onions Food

SWEET POTATO MASH WITH CARAMELISED ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel onions, cut in half and finely slice so you have half moon shaped circles.
• Put into a medium frypan and drizzle with oil and massage the oil in to break up the half rings.
• Cover frypan and cook over a low to moderate heat giving a stir occasionally until a nice golden colour (about 30 to 40 minutes), the longer you take the sweeter the onion will be.
• Put sweet potatoes in a pot of cold water and season with a little salt and bring to the boil and cook till tender.
• When potatoes are cook, drain and give a good shake, put in butter and mash (I used a potato masher) till you get the consistency you like (I like a slightly lumpy texture).
• Add your caramelised onions and mix in well (I just used a fork) and season with salt and pepper to taste.

SWEET POTATO & CARAMELISED ONION ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, then cook in the microwave on high for 8-10 mins until softened. Or, bake in the oven for 50 mins-1 hr, turning halfway through. Leave to cool a little, then cut in half and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Leave to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the red onions and a pinch of salt for 10-12 mins, stirring occasionally until softened and caramelised. Add the garlic, harissa and tomato purée and fry for 2 mins more. Tip the mix into the bowl with the sweet potato along with the coriander, then mash together. The filling should be mostly smooth, but not a purée. Season and leave to cool completely.
• Unroll the pastry sheet and cut in half lengthways into two long rectangles. Spoon half the filling down the middle of one of the rectangles and form it into a long sausage shape. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little of the milk, then fold the empty half of the pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal. Crimp using a fork to ensure the filling is enclosed, then repeat with the remaining filling and remaining rectangle of pastry.
• Cut the pastry along the length into 7cm-long rolls, then arrange, spaced apart, on a large baking tray lined with baking parchment. The rolls can now be frozen on the tray. Once solid, put in a freezerproof container and freeze for up to three months. Brush with more milk, then sprinkle with the nigella seeds. Cut small slashes into the top of each roll. Bake for 25-30 mins (or 40 mins from frozen), turning halfway through, until golden.

Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until sweet potatoes are soft. Be sure to check on them after 15 minutes and stir, if needed.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter and add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced onion, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Saute until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the pan becomes dry.
• Transfer sweet potato mixture to a food processor, (may need to be done in batches) and add about a tablespoon of hot water. Pulse until just blended and then add half the caramelized onions. Pulse just a few times until desired consistency, adding more hot water for a smoother puree. Fold in remaining caramelized onions, reserving some for garnish.
• Serve in a warm dish and garnish with the reserved caramelized onions. YUMMY!!!
