Sweet Potato Phyllo Wraps Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat a large, shallow 10-inch cast-iron pan or Dutch oven up over medium-high heat.
• While the pan heats up, cut the chicken thighs into 1 1/2-inch pieces and season liberally with kosher salt and pepper.
• Once the pan is heated, add 2 tablespoons of the ghee and the chicken in a single layer, working in batches and adding more ghee, if needed. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, flipping the chicken once halfway, until browned evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs to a plate (the chicken will not be cooked through).
• Reduce the heat to medium; add the onion, garlic and sage and cook, stirring, until fragrant and the onions start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vermouth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Add the chard to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to wilt, 3 to 4 minutes. Next, add the sweet potato and stock. Stir together and season liberally with kosher salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the mascarpone and Parmesan. Return the chicken to the pan, stir then remove from the heat.
• Place the phyllo sheets on a baking sheet and cover with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out. Place 1 of the phyllo sheets on a clean work surface then brush or dab with some of the melted butter. Crumple the sheet up like a piece of paper and place on top of the chicken filling. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets until the entire surface of the filling is covered, overlapping the sheets, if necessary. Drizzle any remaining butter on top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake until bubbly and the top is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. If the filling under the crust looks too wet, cook on the stove over medium heat to reduce some of the liquid, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the pot pie in the pan.

Steps:

• Place sweet potato in a small saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain., In a small bowl, mash sweet potato with butter, syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg. Place 1 tablespoon potato mixture in each tart shell. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Top with marshmallows. Bake at 350° for 8-12 minutes or until marshmallows are lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Wash the sweet potatoes and bake them, in their skins, in the preheated oven until cooked and soft. Allow to cool (leaving the oven on), then peel and mash them.
• Bash up 1 teaspoon of the coriander seeds and the chillies in a pestle and mortar. Stir with the cinnamon into the mashed sweet potato and season well. Fold the spring onions and beaten egg into the mashed potato.
• Gently melt the butter in a pan. Bash up the remaining coriander seeds. Brush a sheet of filo with some melted butter and sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon and a little of the ground coriander. Cover with the second sheet, and brush and sprinkle as before. Repeat for the third sheet. With a sharp knife, cut the stacked filo sheets into two 15cm squares.
• Working quickly to prevent the pastry from drying, do the same with the remaining filo sheets. You should now have four squares of filo. Place a generous tablespoon of the sweet potato mixture in the centre of each square and spread out slightly. Brush the edges of each square with water and fold in half, corner to corner, to make a triangle. Press down at the edges to seal. Brush both sides of each triangle with the rest of the melted butter, place on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven until light brown - this will take about 10 minutes.
• Mix the red onion with the watercress, mint and parsley. Mix the yoghurt with the lemon juice, a lug of olive oil and the cumin. Dress the salad with the yoghurt dressing and serve with the hot filo briks and the lemon halves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Mash sweet potatoes with vanilla and ground cinnamon.
• Unroll phyllo dough in a stack of 4 sheets. Cover with large sheet of waxed paper and damp kitchen towel. Remove 1 sheet and position it flat, with short width facing you. Spray edges lightly and evenly with cooking spray.
• Spread 3 tablespoons sweet potato mixture along edge of phyllo. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped pecans. Quickly roll up. Slice into thirds and place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets.
• Spray tops of phyllo wraps with cooking spray. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and drizzle with light maple syrup (about 1/4 teaspoon per wrap). Garnish with strawberries, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Prick potatoes and bake in middle of oven 1 1/2 hours, or until very soft. Scoop flesh into a bowl and beat in remaining filling ingredients with salt to taste. Filling may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
• Reduce oven temperature to 425°F.
• In a small bowl stir together butter and curry powder. Put 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface with long side facing you. Brush left half of phyllo with some curry butter and sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon peanuts. Fold plain half over and fold in each end to make an 8-inch square. Brush top with curry butter and sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon peanuts.
• Arrange phyllo in an 8-inch square baking pan. Fold butter, and sprinkle 2 more phyllo sheets in same manner, arranging them in baking pan as prepared.
• Spread filling on bottom crust. Fold butter, and sprinkle remaining 3 phyllo sheets in same manner, arranging over filling to form top crust and inverting last sheet so that folded-over phyllo is on underside.
• Bake sweet potato mixture in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until crust is flaky and golden, and cut into squares.
