SWEET POTATOES WITH ORANGE BITTERS



Sweet Potatoes with Orange Bitters image

Provided by Yotam Ottolenghi

Categories     Side     Low Fat     Vegetarian     Low Cal     Sweet Potato/Yam     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups/350 ml freshly squeezed orange juice (the juice of 4 to 5 oranges)
1/3 cup/80 g brown sugar
1/4 cup/60 ml red wine vinegar
1/4 cup/60 ml Angostura bitters
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
Salt
4 to 5 sweet potatoes, unpeeled, halved crosswise, each half cut into 1-inch-/2.5-cm-wide wedges (3 1/3 pounds/1.5 kg)
2 red chiles, halved lengthwise
3 sage sprigs (1/2 ounce/15 g)
10 thyme sprigs (1/3 ounce/10 g)
2 heads garlic, unpeeled and halved horizontally
3 ounce/90 g chèvre (goat cheese) log, broken into pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C.
  • Place the orange juice in a saucepan with the sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn down the heat to medium-high and simmer fairly rapidly for about 20 minutes, until the liquid has thickened and reduced to scant 1 cup/200 ml (about the amount in a large glass of wine). Add the bitters, olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
  • Place the potatoes in a large bowl, add the chiles, sage, thyme, and garlic, and then pour in the reduced sauce. Toss well so that everything is coated and then spread the mixture out in a single layer on a baking sheet on which it fits snugly, about 12 by 16 inches/30 by 40 cm.
  • Place in the oven and roast for 50 to 60 minutes, turning and basting the potatoes every 15 minutes or so. They need to remain coated in the liquid in order to caramelize, so add more orange juice if the pan is drying out. At the end, the potatoes should be dark and sticky. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly before arranging on a platter and dotting with the goat cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for medium-sized sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any potatoes that have soft spots or blemishes.
  • Prick the potatoes: Before baking, use a fork to prick the sweet potatoes all over. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the potatoes until tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes, but they are generally done after about 45 minutes to 1 hour. You can check for doneness by inserting a fork into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly: Once the potatoes are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes before handling them. This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Serve the potatoes with your favorite toppings: Orange sweet potatoes can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, cinnamon sugar, marshmallows, or even ice cream.

Conclusion:

Orange sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be served with a variety of toppings. So next time you are looking for a new way to enjoy sweet potatoes, give this recipe a try.
