Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes With Walnuts And Pomegranate Recipes

Steps:

• Toss the sweet potatoes with the cornstarch in a bowl to coat well. Add the mixture to a slow cooker and dot with the butter. Sprinkle over the brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and cayenne. Pour in the vanilla, orange juice and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low, stirring once or twice, until the potatoes are tender, about 3 hours.
• Toss the potatoes once more and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the walnuts and parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Stir together the sugar, butter, cinnamon, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
• Toss the sweet potatoes with the cornstarch in a large mixing bowl. Transfer half the sweet potatoes to a 6-quart slow cooker. Spoon half the sugar-butter mixture on top. Add the remaining potatoes and sugar-butter mixture. Cook, covered, on low until the sweet potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, spread the walnuts out on a baking sheet, and bake until very golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool, then roughly chop.
• When the sweet potatoes are tender, gently stir in the lemon juice. Transfer the potatoes to a shallow serving dish, and let sit for 10 minutes (the sauce will thicken as it sits). Toss the potatoes in the sauce to coat. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts, pomegranate seeds and parsley.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roast the sweet potatoes for 35-40 mins until a knife slides in easily.
• Meanwhile, pour boiling water over the onion and leave for 5 mins, then rinse under the cold tap and pat dry with kitchen paper. Tip into a bowl and add the celeriac and celery with all but 4 tbsp yogurt along with the remaining slaw ingredients and toss together.
• Cut into the potatoes and gently squeeze to open them. Top with the remaining yogurt, pomegranate and walnuts. Scatter over the coriander. Serve with the slaw.
