Whipped Potatoes With Black Beans Food

CRUNCHY NEW POTATOES WITH TOMATOEY BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 200˚c.
• Place the new 2kg of new potatoes in a saucepan and cover with heavily salted water. Simmer the potatoes for 20 minutes until they are fork soft.
• Drain the potatoes and lay them on a large baking tray. Use a large spatula or potato masher to lightly squash the potatoes. You want to flatten to about half their original size but still retain some of their original shape.
• Once the potatoes are nice and squashed, cover them with 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Gently toss the potatoes in the oil so they are evenly coated. Place the potatoes in the oven and roast for 30- 35 minutes until the potatoes are crisp and golden brown.
• Whilst the potatoes are roasting heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Toss in the 2 diced onions and 6 cloves of diced garlic, fry for 2-3 minutes until the onion is soft and see-through.
• Tip in the 2 teaspoons of oregano, 2 teaspoons of paprika, 2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir the pan to combine the spices into the onion, then cook for a further minute.
• Add the 500g cooked black beans and 300ml of water into the pan. Bring the pan up to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes until the bean broth has thickened into a rich sauce.
• Spread the tomatoey black beans over the base of a large serving platter. Layer the crispy smashed new potatoes over the top. Garnish the potatoes with the fine slices of red chilli and a good helping of chopped parsley.

SOUTHWEST POTATOES

Steps:

• Put 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add jalapeño and corn, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; let sit for a moment. When corn begins to brown, shake pan to distribute for even browning. Remove corn.
• Add remaining oil to pan. When hot, add potatoes. Cook, undisturbed, until they begin to brown around edges and release from pan, about 10 minutes. Continue, at least 15 more minutes, turning potatoes to brown all sides without stirring too often. Add oil if needed to prevent sticking, and lower heat if needed to prevent scorching. When potatoes are tender and golden, add chili powder, corn and beans.
• Turn on broiler. Place rack about 4 inches below. Transfer potatoes to a baking dish, sprinkle with cheese and run under broiler until cheese is melted and beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

BLACK BEAN CHILI OVER SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and place on a baking sheet. Bake about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until tender.
• Saute bell pepper and onions in a small amount of broth or water over medium heat until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Stir in spices, tomatoes, and beans and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add squash and jalapeno. Cook, covered, about 6 minutes or until squash is crisp-tender. Place one peeled, slightly mashed sweet potato on each plate. Top with chili and drizzle with freshly squeezed lime juice, if desired.

WHIPPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a saucepan and add enough water to cover generously. Salt the water, bring to a slow simmer over medium heat, and cook until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the cream and milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Keep warm until ready to mix with the potatoes.
• Drain the potatoes, and push them through a ricer into a mixing bowl. Begin whipping the potatoes ¿ either in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or with a handheld mixer ¿ adding the butter as you go. When the butter has melted, gradually add three-quarters of the hot cream mixture, whipping until the potatoes are soft and fluffy. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper, and then any additional cream mixture as needed for the potatoes to achieve the texture of stiffly whipped cream. Serve immediately, or cover and set over a double boiler to keep warm.

LOADED SWEET POTATOES WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Halve sweet potatoes lengthwise, then brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt.
• Place cut side down on prepared sheet and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until completely cooked through. Take sweet potatoes out of the oven, turn them over and let cool slightly. Use a fork to rough up the flesh and slightly flatten the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide half the cheese among the potato halves. Spoon the black beans over them, then cover with the remaining cheese. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the beans have warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

MASHED POTATO-BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Put a large pot of water to boil, add potatoes and cook until they are soft and easily penetrable by a fork.
• Meanwhile make sauce: in a large saucepan, saute diced onion with a T of oil for 5 min or until soft and translucent. Add extra 2 T of oil and slowly stir in flour. Slowly stir in 1/2 cup salsa and tomato sauce, about 1/4c at a time. Add paprika, cili powder, 1T garlic powder and 1T cumin. Slowly stir in broth and simmer on low until sauce has thickened.
• When the potatoes are done, mash until smooth. Stir in beans, remaining salsa, cumin, garlic and 6oz of cheese.
• When the sauce is done, mix a 1/4-1/2 cup in with the potatos then pour a thin layer on the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Warm up the tortillas in a microwave or the oven (to make them flexible) and ladle about 1/3c of potato mixture in each, spreading it evenly down the middle, and rolling the tortilla tightly around it.
• Line up the enchiladas in the pan and pour the remaining sauce evenly over top. Sprinkle with remaining 2 oz of cheese and bake uncovered for 25min at 350. Enjoy!

VANILLA BEAN-WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°.
• Poke the sweet potatoes several times with a fork and bake for about 35 minutes, or until tender.
• Let cool slightly, then peel and transfer them to a food processor.
• Puree until fairly smooth.
• In a small saucepan, combine the cream with the butter and the vanilla bean and seeds. Bring to a simmer.
• Remove the vanilla bean.
• With the processor on, carefully pour the vanilla cream into the sweet potatoes and process until smooth.
• Season the sweet potato puree as desired with salt and pepper or sugar, transfer to a bowl and serve.

WHIPPED POTATOES WITH BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place potatoes in a large pot, add stock or salted water, cover and bring to a boil. Cook until very soft, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place garlic on a piece of foil, moisten with oil and loosely wrap it. Place it in oven for 15 minutes.
• When potatoes are soft, drain and return them to the pot to mash by hand or place them in an electric mixer. Add salt to taste, the roasted garlic, the butter, cream and black beans. Beat ingredients together.
• Adjust seasonings, and gently reheat the potatoes before serving. Garnish each portion with cilantro and, if desired, a scattering of corn.
