Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

All-purpose flour, for work surface
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Plum Crumb Pie
2 large sweet potatoes, (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Juice of half a lemon

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll pate brisee into a 15-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off the excess flour; fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing it into the edges. Trim to a 1-inch overhang all around. Crimp edge as desired. Cover with plastic wrap; chill pie shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches of water; place over high heat and bring to a boil. Fit saucepan with a steamer basket, add sweet potatoes, and cover. Steam until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. You may need to add more water as sweet potatoes steam. Let sweet potatoes cool slightly before removing skins by rubbing potatoes with a paper towel.
  • Place sweet potatoes in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until the sweet potatoes are well mashed and any stringy pieces of sweet potato have wrapped themselves around the paddle attachment. Remove paddle attachment, wipe clean, and return to mixer.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add butter, and beat until well combined and cooled slightly. Slowly add sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Continue beating until well combined.
  • Pour mixture into prepared pie crust. Transfer to oven and bake until center has set, 45 to 50 minutes.

WORLD'S BEST RATATOUILLE



World's Best Ratatouille image

Classic ratatouille with a twist based on a Martha Stewart recipe, wonderfully adapted by Greta from Picnics in the Park. Roasting the veggies gives great depth of flavour which, like most stews, improves the next day. Freezes well too!

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 sweet bell peppers, roasted peeled and cut into thin strips (see below)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
2 large eggplants, cut into 1 inch dice
4 medium zucchini, cut into 1 inch dice
2 medium yellow squash, cut into 1 inch dice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large yellow onion, cut in half and then sliced into half moon slices
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (or stewed tomatoes)
3 tablespoons dried herbs (tarragon, basil, oregano or thyme or combo thereof) or 2 tablespoons fresh herbs

Steps:

  • To roast peppers, place them on a rimmed baking sheet and place in oven directly under broiler. Check often and as each side of the peppers get blackened, turn the pepper. Continue to do so until all sides are completely black.
  • Remove peppers from oven and place in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Set aside for at least 10 minutes while you roast the other vegetables.
  • Once the peppers are out, reset the oven to 400F.
  • Place eggplant and zucchini in a single layer on rimmed baking sheets. (You will fill more than one baking sheet. Be prepared to roast multiple batches.) Drizzle vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir to coat with olive oil. Roast vegetables in oven for about 30 minutes or until vegetables are very soft, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, cover the bottom of a large, heavy bottomed pot with olive oil and heat on stovetop. Add onions and garlic and cook on medium-low until golden and onions are soft.
  • Back to the covered bowl of peppers! The skin should peel right off of the peppers now. Remove stem and seeds too, and slice into long thin strips. Add pepper strips and any juices into the pot with the onions.
  • Add roasted eggplants and squashes to the pot plus the 2 cans of tomatoes. Season to taste with fresh or dried herbs (tarragon is lovely!).
  • Stir and simmer on low for at least 30 minutes.
  • Season ratatouille with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose yams that are firm, heavy, and have smooth skin.
  • Wash the yams thoroughly before roasting to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prick the yams with a fork before roasting to allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting.
  • Rub the yams with olive oil or melted butter to help them brown and add flavor.
  • Season the yams with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs.
  • Roast the yams at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for about an hour, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Let the yams cool slightly before handling them.
  • Serve the roasted yams as a side dish or main course, or use them in other recipes such as soups, stews, or salads.

Conclusion:

Roasted yam halves are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger meal. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and they can be easily customized to suit your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
