Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h15m

Yield 30 cannelloni

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 sweet potatoes (about 1 pound each)
3/4 cup low fat cottage cheese
3/4 cup fuji apple, diced (skin on)
3 tablespoons chives, fresh, chopped
1 ounce parmesan cheese, grated
1 ounce parmesan cheese, shaved
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
fresh ground pepper, to taste
oil, for the baking pan
1 tablespoon walnut oil
1 ounce walnuts, toasted, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375. Wrap 1 sweet potato in parchment, and then in foil. Pierce several times with a fork. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350.
  • Meanwhile, peel remaining sweet potatoes. Using a mandoline or a chef's knife, cut potatoes lengthwise into very thin slices until you have 30 slices. Trim each to a 2-by-4-inch rectangle.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add half the sweet potato slices, and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, place slices on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Repeat.
  • Remove peel from baked sweet potato, and puree flesh in a food processor until smooth. Add cottage cheese, and puree until smooth.
  • Transfer potato-cheese mixture to a large bowl. Stir in apple, chives, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  • Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with oil. Place 1 heaping tablespoon filling in center of a sweet potato slice, and roll up. Place, seam side down, in dish. Repeat. (Cannelloni can be refrigerated, covered, overnight; bring to room temperature before baking.)
  • Brush oil over cannelloni. Bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with walnuts and shaved Parmesan.

JUMBO LUMP CRAB FILLED SWEET POTATO CANNELLONI WITH PARMIGIANO SAUCE



Jumbo Lump Crab Filled Sweet Potato Cannelloni with Parmigiano Sauce image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and brunoised
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 large sweet potato, peeled
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons butter
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
3 scallions, sliced
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 pound jumbo lump crab, picked through
Micro arugula, for garnish
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, for serving
Parmigiano Sauce, for serving, recipe follows
Olive oil
1 medium onion
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Pinch grated nutmeg
2 cups grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 cup creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Toss the apples with the lemon juice to coat in a small bowl.
  • Slice the sweet potato, using a Japanese mandolin slicer, lengthwise into 18 very thin slices. Adjust the mandolin to a thicker setting (matchstick thickness). Slice the remaining sweet potato into larger slices, and then slice those with a knife and cut into brunoise.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and sprinkle with salt. Cook the sweet potato slices until just al dente, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool on a sheet tray.
  • Heat the butter in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the brunoise sweet potatoes and a pinch of salt and cook until tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Mix the crushed red pepper flakes, scallions, half of the apples and the mustard in a large bowl and season with salt. Gently fold in the crab using a rubber spatula, being careful not to break up the meat.
  • On a clean flat surface, lay out 1 of the sweet potato slices. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crab filling 1 inch from a short side. Fold the border over the filling, and then continue to roll up the cannelloni. Transfer the cannelloni to plates seam-side down, using a small offset spatula. Continue the process, plating 3 cannelloni per plate. Top each plate of cannelloni with 2 teaspoons of the remaining apples and 2 teaspoons of the sauteed sweet potatoes. Cover with some of the Parmigano Sauce and a few sprinkles of grated Parmigano-Reggiano. Lightly brown the tops, using a torch, and serve with the arugula.
  • Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the onions until softened, about 5 minutes, and then pour in the milk and simmer. Melt the butter in another saute pan over medium heat, and then add the flour and cook until the flour and butter resemble wet sand, 3 to 4 minutes. Strain the milk and gradually whisk into the butter and flour until incorporated, and then season with salt and nutmeg. Slowly bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom. Once the sauce has come to a boil and thickened, stir in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Remove from the heat and stir in the creme fraiche. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
