Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), skin on, scrubbed and cut into 4-inch sticks, each 1/2-inch thick
4 cups (1 quart) canola oil
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup lager beer
Easy Mediterranean Spice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Put a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven.
  • Put sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe container, cover, and microwave 2 minutes. Stir gently, cover, and microwave 1 to 2 minutes more until pieces are pliable. Let rest 5 minutes covered; pour onto a platter.
  • In a 4-quart saucepan over medium, heat oil to 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. In a large bowl, gradually whisk the cornstarch into the beer (if you whisk it together all at once, it will get too thick). Working with a handful at a time, dip potatoes into the mixture, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Add to the hot oil and fry in three or four batches until dark golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer fries to oven while cooking the remaining batches.
  • Place the fries in a large clean bowl, add the Mediterranean Spice mix, and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/4 pounds ground dark turkey meat
2 slices white bread, torn into small pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 small red onion, minced (about 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons minced chipotle chiles

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
6 small sweet potatoes (about 7 ounces each)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Watercress and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine meat, bread, onion, cilantro, egg, Worcestershire, adobo sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Transfer mixture to a 5-by-9-inch nonstick loaf pan. Stir together chiles and ketchup; brush onto top of loaf.
  • Prick potatoes with a fork. Set loaf pan on a rimmed baking sheet; surround with potatoes. Bake until a thermometer inserted in center of loaf reads 160 degrees, 1 hour, 15 minutes. Peel potatoes; add oil, season with salt and pepper, and mash. Reserve half of loaf for next day; serve remainder with potatoes, watercress, and limes.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, brush the meatloaf with additional melted butter before baking.
  • To prevent the meatloaf from drying out, add a cup of chicken or beef broth to the baking dish.
  • If you don't have any bread crumbs, you can use crushed crackers or oatmeal in their place.
  • Chopped nuts, dried fruits, or grated vegetables can be added to the meatloaf for extra flavor and texture.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or roasted carrots.
