SWEET POTATO GNOCCHI WITH BROWN BUTTER, CRISPY PANCETTA AND SAGE



Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Brown Butter, Crispy Pancetta and Sage image

This recipe puts a little twist on the classic potato gnocchi using sweet potato instead. I love its natural sweetness and beautiful color. I then coat the pillowy pieces with a rich, nutty and salty brown butter. (I felt that tomato sauce might be a bit too acidic and mask the sweetness.) To top it all off: crispy nuggets of pancetta and fried sage leaves.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium sweet potatoes, about 1 pound, patted dry
Vegetable oil, for greasing
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Kosher salt
1 large egg, beaten
One 4-ounce package diced pancetta
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 to 10 medium sage leaves
Freshly grated Parmesan, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Poke holes all over each sweet potato with a fork, then rub all over with oil. Place on a baking sheet and roast until tender when pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove and discard the skins. Quarter each sweet potato and pass a few pieces at a time through a ricer, landing the fluffy strands in a medium bowl; discard any stringy bits. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to mix. (Alternative method: Remove the skins after baking then grate the sweet potatoes on the large holes of a box grater.)
  • Bring a large wide pot of water to a boil over high heat.
  • Meanwhile, whisk to combine the flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Create a well in the center. Add the riced sweet potatoes and egg. Gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be sure not to overwork the dough!
  • Transfer the dough to a generously floured work surface. Bring the dough together with your hands, adding up to 1/4 cup flour, until the dough is just slightly sticky and can be patted into a disk. Let rest on the work surface, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Cut the dough into 4 equal wedges. Working with one wedge at a time, roll the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick log on a lightly floured surface. Cut each log into about thirty pieces. (The gnocchi will be slightly sticky in the center.) Transfer to a baking sheet and cover with a dish towel.
  • Cook the pancetta, stirring occasionally, in a medium skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Remove the skillet from the heat and reserve the skillet with the fat in it.
  • Generously season the boiling water with salt. Reduce the heat to medium and carefully drop a batch of gnocchi into the water and cook until they begin to float; remove to a serving platter with a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining gnocchi.
  • Heat the reserved skillet and fat over medium heat. Add the butter and cook, stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula, until brown flecks appear, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the sage and gently fry in the brown butter until just crispy, about 1 minute.
  • Pour the melted butter on the cooked gnocchi. Top with the sage leaves and crispy pancetta pieces. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan, if desired. Enjoy while warm.

STIR-FRIED SWEET POTATOES



Stir-Fried Sweet Potatoes image

In a 2010 love letter to the food processor, Mark Bittman gave the machine the ultimate compliment: "I upgraded its position in my kitchen from a cabinet to a spot on my itsy-bitsy counter," he wrote. Here, he uses the machine to chop and grate vegetables, cutting down on prep time (and any possibility of shredding your knuckles on a box grater). The end result is a quick side dish, full of flavor from the ginger and soy sauce.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves
1 piece fresh ginger (1-inch long), peeled
1 small fresh hot chili (like jalapeño or Thai), stem and seeds removed
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1- to 2-inch chunks
3 tablespoons peanut oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce, more for serving

Steps:

  • Put scallions in food processor and pulse until finely chopped; remove. Add garlic, ginger and chili to the processor and pulse until minced; remove. Fit the processor with grating blade and grate sweet potatoes.
  • Put oil in a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add garlic-ginger-chili mixture and fry for 30 seconds. Add half the scallions and all the potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring or tossing, until the potatoes are lightly browned, about 10 minutes; the potatoes need not be fully tender.
  • Add soy sauce, toss once, and transfer potatoes to serving platter. Garnish with remaining scallions and serve immediately with additional soy sauce, if desired.

Time 19m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large sweet potato, peeled and halved crosswise
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
¼ cup butter
9 fresh sage leaves
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Cut sweet potato into spaghetti-like ribbons with a spiralizer.
  • Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potato ribbons; cook, stirring often and adding more oil to prevent sticking, until starting to soften, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat butter in the same skillet until melted and foaming, about 1 minute. Add sage leaves; swirl until butter is a rich caramel color and leaves are crisp and dark green, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove sage leaves from the butter. Add sweet potato; stir to coat well.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Sweet Potatoes: Select firm and brightly colored sweet potatoes with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid those with cuts, bruises, or signs of sprouting.
  • Preparing the Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform cubes or wedges for even cooking. Rinsing the sweet potatoes before cooking is optional, but it helps remove excess starch and prevents them from sticking together.
  • Using Brown Butter: Brown butter adds a nutty and caramelized flavor to the dish. To make brown butter, melt unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally as the butter melts and solids separate. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and has a toasted aroma.
  • Adding Herbs and Spices: Sage is the primary herb used in this recipe, but you can also experiment with other herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano. Freshly chopped herbs provide the best flavor, but dried herbs can also be used. Add spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika to enhance the flavors.
  • Cooking the Sweet Potatoes: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized. The cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the sweet potato pieces.
  • Finishing Touches: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, stir in the browned butter and chopped sage. Toss to coat the sweet potatoes evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of honey for a touch of sweetness and acidity.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried sweet potatoes with brown butter and sage is a simple yet flavorful dish that showcases the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes. The combination of crispy-tender sweet potatoes, nutty brown butter, and aromatic sage creates a delightful side dish or vegetarian main course. This recipe is highly adaptable, allowing you to experiment with different herbs, spices, and even add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a dish to impress your guests, this stir-fried sweet potato dish is sure to satisfy.
