Roasted Sweet Potato And Feta Ravioli Recipes

HERBED GREEK ROASTED POTATOES WITH FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly oil a large baking dish.
• Stir the potatoes, garlic, olive oil, water, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until the potatoes are evenly coated; pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the potatoes begin to brown, about 40 minutes. Season the potatoes with the oregano and mint. If the dish appears dry, pour another 1/2 cup water into the dish. Return to the oven and bake about 40 minutes more. Top with the crumbled feta cheese to serve.

SWEET POTATO & GOAT'S CHEESE RAVIOLI

Steps:

• For the filling, bake, steam or microwave the potatoes, then roughly mash. Mix with the pumpkin seeds and goat's cheese.
• For the pasta, place the flour and a pinch of salt in a food processor and crack in the eggs. Pulse until mixture forms sticky-looking crumbs. Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and bring together to form a firm dough. Knead for 5 mins until the dough feels smooth, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 mins. To make by hand, shape flour into a 'ring' on a work surface, crack eggs into the middle, then gradually work the flour into eggs using your fingers.
• Cut the pasta into quarters, then roll out each piece using a pasta machine. Dust with flour as you go and move it down a notch onto a thinner setting every second roll. Continue until you get to the penultimate setting. If you like your pasta very thin and delicate, you can go for the thinnest setting. If you don't have a machine, use a heavy rolling pin to roll the dough as thinly as possible.
• Stamp out rounds using a ravioli cutter or a 6cm biscuit cutter - work quickly so the pasta doesn't dry out. Lay the circles on a semolina-dusted surface and cover with cling film as you cut the rest.
• Place a small tsp of filling in the centre of each round. Dampen the edges with water, then sandwich another round on top. Use your fingertips to seal the edges, trying to expel all the air as you go. Lay the ravioli on a semolina-dusted tea towel to dry for a few mins.
• Cook ravioli in a large pan of gently boiling salted water for 4-5 mins. Do not use a full rolling boil as it is likely to make ravioli split. Drain, and serve with a little chilli oil, Parmesan and pumpkin seeds.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND CHICKPEA/GARBANZO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6.
• Put the onion, garlic and potatoes into a roasting pan, scatter over the spices, season with salt and pepper and drizzle over the oil.
• Roast for 15 minutes. Add the tomatoes, honey and 7fl oz water and roast for a further 15 minutes. Stir through the chickpeas and return to the oven for a final 10 minutes. Scatter with the herbs and serve with couscous.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Cut the tomatoes in half, scoop out the seeds and discard.
• Peel and mince half the garlic.
• Combine minced garlic, tomatoes, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a baking dish and roast at 425 F until the tomatoes are shriveled (about 30-40 minutes).
• Cut the sweet potatoes in half the long way, place cut-side down in a dish, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and roast at 425 for 25 minutes (can be done with the garlic and tomatoes).
• Chop the onion, peel and chop the carrots, and chop the celery.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet and cook the onion, carrots, and celery until the onion turns translucent (10 minutes or so).
• Combine onion/carrot/celery mixture with stock in a saucepan. Remove skin from sweet potatoes and add to saucepan. Simmer uncovered for 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop tomatoes and reserve (along with the minced garlic).
• Add thyme, chives, and sage to the soup. Use an immersion blender to process the soup until smooth. Alternatively, remove and process in a food processor (may have to do this in steps if your food processor is not large enough).
• Chop the parsley and walnuts. Ladle soup into bowls. Place a large spoonful of the tomato and garlic into the center of each bowl and garnish the soup with walnuts and parsley. Serve hot.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO WITH RAISINS AND SUNFLOWER SEEDS

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND FETA RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.

• Meanwhile, heat remaining teaspoon of oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; add onions.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Mash potatoes in a large bowl, leaving mixture somewhat chunky; fold in onions and cheese until well combined. Set aside.
• Lay 16 wonton skins side by side on a dry work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of each of the 16 skins; lightly brush the edges with water.
• Top with remaining 16 skins; push out any air pockets. Press to seal.
• Transfer ravioli to a parchment covered baking pan dusted with flour; place in the freezer until set, about 5 minutes.

• Spread the potatoes in a baking dish and roast them until fork tender or about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
• In a large bowl toss the sweet potatoes with the chopped spinach. The heat from the potatoes will slightly wilt the spinach.
