Homemade Pesto Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

beautifulyou583

By food_glooby

 

 

Cooking Time (includes preparation time): 1 Hour

Ingredients:

100g Block of Parmesan – £2.00
100g Pines Nuts – £2.80
Chilli Flakes – £0.85
Lemon – £0.30
Garlic – £0.30
Spinach – £1.00
Basil – £0.70
4 Sweet Potatoes – £1.33

Total Cost – £9.28 – This covers absolutely everything. All we assume you have in your kitchen beforehand is SALT, PEPPER AND OLIVE OIL.

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C/356°F
2. Place sweet potatoes in baking tray. Drizzle olive oil over the top. Season with salt and pepper, and add a teaspoon of chilli flakes. Place in oven for 50 minutes.
3. Now for the pesto. In a frying pan add 2 cloves of chopped garlic and a teaspoon of chilli flakes. Just before the garlic starts browning, add your spinach leaves. Add a small cup of water to help the spinach wilt. Cooking for 30 seconds or so – you don’t want the spinach to completely lose it’s shape.
4. Remove pan from heat and place the spinach into a bowl.
5. Toasting the pine nuts. Place your nuts into a frying pan. No oil. Medium heat. They should take 3 minutes or so. Keep jiggling them about to make sure they don’t burn.
6. Once cooked, add to the spinach bowl.
7. Grate parmesan. Add most of it to the mixing bowl. Add the zest of one lemon, and the juice of half the lemon. Add a handful of chopped basil.
8. After 50 minutes, remove sweet potatoes from oven. Slice them along the top and remove flesh. Add flash to the mixing bowl, and set the skins aside.
9. Mix everything together in the bowl, and then refill the sweet potato skins.
10. Finish with a scattering of leftover pine nuts, parmesan and basil. Squeeze a few drops of lemon over the top.

EASY FOCACCIA WITH PESTO

beautifulyou583

PREP TIME: 10 minutes + 45 minutes resting
COOK TIME: 25 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 1 hour 20 minutes

This simple no-knead Focaccia recipe is easy enough for the novice bread baker. Added pesto gives this classic a delicious twist!

Serves: 8-10

INGREDIENTS:

3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet Fleischmann’s® RapidRise Yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups water

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

2 tablespoons pesto

1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Coat a 13×9 baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt until combined.

In a 2-cup glass measuring cup OR microwave-safe bowl, combine water and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Microwave on HIGH in 15 second increments until very warm but not hot to the touch (120° to 130°F). (It took me 4 cycles.) Add to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until blended.

Spread the dough into the greased pan. Cover with a towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Using a lightly oiled finger, gently poke holes about every inch in the dough going nearly to the bottom of the dough. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; then loosen up the pesto and gently spread it over the top, followed by sprinkling the Parmesan cheese. Let rise, uncovered, an additional 15 minutes while oven preheats to 375°F.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly. Cut and serve with extra oil for dipping, if desired.
