ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND FRESH FIGS



Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Fresh Figs image

This dish from Yotam Ottolenghi, a chef and an author of "Jerusalem," the beloved Middle Eastern cookbook, takes inspiration from a city where fig trees grow in abundance. Roasted sweet potatoes, along with wedges of fresh figs, are piled onto a plate, drizzled with a green onion-chile sauce and a balsamic reduction then dotted with generous pats of goat cheese. Do plan ahead, as this recipe does require a bit of preparation, but it's easy work that's more than worth it.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 small sweet potatoes (2 1/4 pounds total)
5 tablespoons olive oil
Scant 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (you can use a commercial rather than a premium aged grade)
1 1/2 tablespoons superfine sugar
12 green onions, halved lengthwise and cut into 1 1/2-inch segments
1 red chili, thinly sliced
6 ripe figs (8 1/2 ounces total), quartered
5 ounces soft goat's milk cheese (optional)
Maldon sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Wash the sweet potatoes, halve them lengthwise, and then cut each half into 3 long wedges. Mix with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and some black pepper.
  • Spread the wedges out, skin side down, on a baking sheet and cook for about 25 minutes, until they are soft but not mushy. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
  • To make the balsamic reduction, place the balsamic vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat and simmer for 2 to 4 minutes, until it thickens. Be sure to remove the pan from the heat when the vinegar is still runnier than honey; it will continue to thicken as it cools. Stir in a drop of water before serving if it does become too thick to drizzle
  • Arrange the sweet potatoes on a serving platter. Heat the remaining oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the green onions and chili. Fry for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often to make sure not to burn the chili. Spoon the oil, onions and chili over the sweet potatoes. Dot the figs among the wedges, and then drizzle over the balsamic reduction. Serve at room temperature. Crumble the cheese over the top, if using.

  • Couscous, Cherry Tomato & Herb Salad. As the couscous steeps in hot water, burst the cherry tomatoes in olive oil and pan-roast the spices. Mix the cooked couscous together with raisins, almonds, fresh herbs, and lemon juice and zest, and serve with the tomatoes on top.
  • Shakshuka. Thick, spiced, garlicky tomato sauce makes the perfect landing pad for eggs to gently steam and simmer, allowing the whites to firm up but the yolks to stay runny and saucy.
  • Burnt Green Onion Dip with Curly Kale. Spicy, lemony sautéed kale meets a smoky, creamy green onion dip. The roasted garlic is really the longest time investment in this recipe—make extra to keep on hand so you can put together this dish even more quickly next time.
  • Honey & Yogurt Set Cheesecake. This tangy, creamy, no-bake cheesecake from SIMPLE requires just 9 ingredients and can be made up to 2 days ahead—impressive and low-stress at the same time.
  • Roasted Onion Salad with Arugula & Walnut Salsa. A few key ingredients play big parts in this salad: Oven-roasted onions—tender, caramelized, and sweet—are tossed with bright parsley, arugula, goat cheese, and a zingy, crunchy walnut salsa to create a bold yet balanced salad.
  • Lemon & Poppy Seed Cake. Requiring just 10 ingredients, most of which you might already have in your fridge and pantry, this cake is fluffy, tender, moist, and extremely hard to mess up.
  • Sweet Potato Galettes. Galettes, or savory tarts, are the ultimate "fancy but actually really low-key" setup: Just take puff pastry (store-bought, in this case), top it with good stuff, and stick it in the oven for just 20 minutes.
  • Beet, Caraway & Goat Cheese Bread. All this earthy, nutty, cheesy quick-bread needs is a slather of salted butter. Per SIMPLE, make it a few days ahead, serve it at your next brunch gathering, and watch how quickly it disappears.
  • Lamb & Pistachio Patties with Sumac Yogurt Sauce. In this recipe—another one from SIMPLE—crunchy pistachios, ground lamb, and zippy arugula come together in just about 30 minutes to make tender meat patties.
  • Apple & Olive Oil Cake with Maple Icing. This cake can attribute its deep, complex flavor to its relatively long ingredients list, but also to being made ahead; the flavors get even more concentrated when they've had a few days to mingle and mature.
