SWEET POTATOES WITH YOGURT AND CILANTRO-CHILE SAUCE



Sweet Potatoes With Yogurt and Cilantro-Chile Sauce image

In this luscious vegetable dish, velvety sweet potatoes get a spicy jolt from a chile-spiked cilantro sauce spooned on top. Greek yogurt adds a creamy element and a bit of protein if you're serving these as a vegetarian main course. As a side dish, they are satisfying yet not the least bit heavy, thanks to the bright flavors of the sauce. You can make the sauce up to 4 hours ahead. Any longer than that and it starts to lose its fresh, tart taste. It's also very good on roasted carrots.

1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving

CHILE SWEET POTATOES



Chile Sweet Potatoes image

The chef Rick Bayless offers a wonderful recipe for sweet potatoes glazed with an ancho chile paste in his book "Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen." Instead of making the paste, I make a thinner glaze with canned chipotle and some of the adobo they're packed in. The glaze makes a spicy contrast to the sweet potatoes. You can make this recipe vegan by using light brown sugar instead of honey.

Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 1h

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 garlic cloves, green shoots removed
Salt to taste
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, seeded
2 tablespoons adobo sauce from the chiles
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground cloves (1 clove)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth or water
1 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons honey (or use light brown sugar)
1 tablespoon finely chopped orange zest
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 large sweet potatoes about 3 pounds, scrubbed
Chopped cilantro for garnish optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish. Place the garlic, salt, chipotles and adobo sauce, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, broth, orange juice and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth. Strain into a large, wide bowl, and stir in the orange zest.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4-inch lengths. If the sweet potatoes are fat, cut the pieces in half lengthwise into wedges. Add to the bowl, and toss with the adobo mixture until coated. Transfer to the baking dish, then pour on the liquid from the bowl. Drizzle on the oil, and cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven until tender. Raise the heat to 425 degrees, uncover the sweet potatoes and baste with the liquid in the pan. Continue to bake, uncovered, until the sweet potatoes are thoroughly tender and glazed and any sauce remaining in the pan is thick. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

CHILE JAM CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED SWEET POTATOES AND PEACHES



Chile Jam Chicken With Caramelized Sweet Potatoes and Peaches image

Add sweetness and spice to a simple chicken dinner with a few spoonfuls of chile jam.

Provided by Daphne Oz

Categories     HarperCollins     Dinner     Summer     Chicken     Peach     Sweet Potato/Yam     Chile Pepper     Onion

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the Caramelized Sweet Potatoes and Peaches:
1 tablespoon organic coconut oil, melted
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, room temperature (if it is cold, the coconut oil will solidify on contact)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Iodized salt
1 medium sweet potato, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 medium peaches, pitted and sliced into 4 wedges each
1 medium sweet onion, peeled and quartered
For the chicken:
4 skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
Sea salt
Fresh-cracked black pepper
4 tablespoons chile jam (some of my favorites: Hell Fire Pepper Jelly from Jenkins Jellies or INNA Jam's Plenty Spicy Jalapeño for heat seekers)
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • To make the Caramelized Sweet Potatoes and Peaches:
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the coconut oil, syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Put the potato and peaches in 2 separate bowls. Pour three quarters of the syrup mixture over the sweet potato and one-quarter over the peaches and toss. Spread the potato in an even layer in a large baking dish and roast for 10 minutes. Toss the potato and roast for 5 minutes more. Add the onion and roast for 15 minutes. Toss the potato and onion, add the peaches in an even layer, and roast 10 minutes, or until the potato and onion are fork tender and the peaches have caramelized.
  • To make the chicken:
  • Pat the chicken dry and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and arrange the chicken thighs inside (cast iron works really well to get a nice crispy crust). Brown the chicken on one side, giving the chicken time to unstick itself from the pan surface and form a good, crispy coating, about 10 minutes (you can give it some help with your tongs or spatula if needed). Flip the chicken thighs and brown for 6 to 10 minutes, or until you can insert a knife to the bone and no red liquid emerges.
  • Lower heat to medium-low and spoon a quarter of the chile jam over each thigh. Melt the jam over the chicken and on all sides, using tongs to flip and swirl the thighs in the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the jam to form a glaze. Remove the thighs to a serving plate and spoon the glaze on top. Scrape up any bits sticking to the bottom of the pan-these will be the crispiest and the first to go!
  • Just before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken to brighten its flavors and heighten the sweetness and spice. Serve with Caramelized Sweet Potatoes and Peaches.

Time 1h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 large sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
2 ½ pounds beef stew meat, cubed
½ cup chopped onion
1 cup beef broth
1 (12 ounce) bottle Mexican guajillo red chile cooking sauce (such as Herdez®)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 green onions, chopped
⅓ cup light sour cream
1 tablespoon butter
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer at a low boil until tender all the way through when pierced with a sharp knife, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and set seasoning mix aside.
  • Coat the bottom of a large saute pan with oil and place over medium-high heat. Add beef to the hot oil and sprinkle with seasoning mix. Cook, stirring as needed, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Cook in batches if needed, to avoid overcrowding. Transfer beef to a plate and set aside.
  • Add more oil to the pan if necessary and add onion. Cook and stir until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add broth, chile sauce, and tomato paste to the pan. Cook and stir until sauce is well combined and warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes more. Return beef to the pan, bring sauce to a low boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer stew for 1 hour.
  • Drain sweet potatoes and allow to cool until safe to handle. Remove skins using a paper towel to pull them off and discard. Place sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl and add sour cream, butter, and salt. Beat using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Spoon individual portions of sweet potatoes onto serving plates and top with heaping spoonfuls of stew. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Provided by Andy Baraghani

Categories     Bon Appétit     Thanksgiving     Side     Fall     Sweet Potato/Yam     Yogurt     Chile Pepper     Lemon     Sesame     Mint     Roast

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pounds medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 1/2 cups plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 serrano chile, finely grated
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 1/2 cups mint leaves, torn if large
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potatoes with 2 Tbsp. oil on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast, turning halfway through, until tender, 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven; increase oven temperature to 450°F. Let sweet potatoes cool slightly, then tear into large pieces (including skin)-irregular pieces look best. Spread out on the same baking sheet and roast until browned and crisp around the edges, 20-25 minutes.
  • Combine yogurt, chile, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a medium bowl; season with kosher salt. Coarsely crush sesame seeds on a cutting board with a flat-bottomed mug (or leave them whole).
  • Spread chile yogurt on a platter; top with sweet potatoes. Scatter mint, sesame seeds, and sea salt over; drizzle with oil.
  • Do Ahead
  • Sweet potatoes can be roasted 6 hours ahead. Let sit at room temperature. Reheat in a 400°F oven just to warm through before serving. Chile yogurt can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill.

  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley add a pop of color and freshness to the dish. Ground cumin and chili powder provide warmth and depth of flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: These roasted sweet potatoes are versatile and can be served as a main course or a side dish. Pair them with grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
