Curried Sweet Potato Puree Recipes

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert or a mesh colander in a large pot and add enough water to reach the bottom of the steamer. Place the sweet potatoes in the steamer and bring the water to a boil. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and cook over simmering water for about 25 minutes, until very tender. Check occasionally to be sure the water doesn't boil away.
• Transfer the sweet potatoes to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, slowly add the half-and-half, orange zest, orange juice, cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. With the mixer still on low, add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated. Taste for seasonings and mix until smooth. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Prick the sweet potatoes in several places. Put them in the oven and bake them until they are tender, about 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat one tablespoon of the butter in a large, heavy saucepan, stir in the ginger and cook a minute or two. Add the curry powder, cook, stirring a minute or so longer, then stir in the milk. Heat the milk until steaming but not boiling. Remove the mixture from heat and set aside.
• When the potatoes have finished baking, scoop the insides out of the shells and mash them by putting them through a potato ricer or by using a potato masher.
• Reheat the milk mixture in the saucepan and transfer the sweet potato puree to the saucepan. Mix all the ingredients together and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Brush a 4-to-6-cup baking dish with half the remaining butter. Spread the puree in the baking dish. Dot the top with the remaining butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon. Set aside until 30 minutes before serving time. Refrigerate if the puree is made the day before.
• Before serving, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Serve at once.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap each sweet potato in foil, put on a baking sheet and bake until soft, 1 hour. Let cool slightly.
• Combine the almond milk, curry powder and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture is reduced by a third, about 5 minutes. Discard the ginger.
• Pour any sugary juices from the sweet potato foil wrappers into a food processor. Peel the sweet potatoes and add the flesh to the food processor. Add the almond milk mixture and 1/2 teaspoon salt and puree until smooth.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and squeeze the lime over the finished puree. Garnish with almonds and cilantro if desired and serve warm.

Stir to combine. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice grains are translucent, 3-4 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook until rice is tender and sweet potatoes are softened, 35 to 50 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• SOUP:.
• In a soup pot, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add curry paste and onions and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat if necessary. Add garlic clove and ginger and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

• Puree the ingredients in batches in a blender or puree the whole amount directly in the pot with a hand blender (if pot is high enough).
• Check if you like the consistency of the soup. Add more stock or water if desired and adjust the seasonings (check if salt is needed). You can add more curry paste if desired, but most pastes need to be cooked first before adding to a dish. Add rum if using.
