SWEET POTATO, APPLE AND LEEK CASSEROLE



Sweet Potato, Apple and Leek Casserole image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts sliced lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large sweet potato (about 1 pound), peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 large or 2 medium red skinned apples, such as Gala or Honeycrisp (about 12 ounces), halved, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the thyme and then the cream and cook until the liquid thickens, about 2 minutes; set aside.
  • In a 2-quart shallow baking dish, arrange the sweet potato in overlapping layers. Spread the leek mixture evenly over the potatoes. Arrange the apples in an overlapping layer on the leeks. Brush the apples with the remaining tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake 40 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the Parmesan is golden brown and melted, about 20 minutes more. The tip of a paring knife should easily pierce the apples and potatoes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

2 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 cup orange juice
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup dark brown sugar

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes for a more complex flavor and texture. Look for varieties such as Garnet, Beauregard, or Jewel.
  • Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not get as tender.
  • Don't overcrowd the casserole dish. If you do, the sweet potatoes will not cook evenly and may become mushy.
  • Bake the casserole until the sweet potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown. This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
