Sweet Potato And Onion Dip Recipes

SWEET POTATO AND ONION DIP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Using a vegetable brush and water, scrub the sweet potatoes to remove dirt, then place them on a sheet pan.
• Bake the sweet potatoes on the top rack until soft to the touch, about 1 1/4 hours. Let cool for at least 1 hour.
• Add grapeseed oil to a large skillet and heat over medium. Add sliced onion, fennel and jalapeño to the skillet and sauté for 15 minutes or until onions are soft and slightly browned. Set aside and let cool room temperature.
• Using your hands, gently peel the sweet potatoes and discard the skins. In a large bowl, use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until you see tiny chunks. (The texture shouldn't be ultrasmooth.)
• Using a spoon, stir in the cooked onion mixture along with the ricotta, Parmesan, pecans, lime juice, maple syrup, anchovy oil (if using), salt, onion powder, vanilla and nutmeg. Store the dip in an airtight container, and place in the fridge until ready to eat. (If you have the time, the flavors are always better the next day.)
• Just before serving, stir to combine and season the dip to taste with salt. Drizzle it with olive oil, then top it with the reserved fennel fronds and crispy fried onions, if you like. Serve with any combination of bread, tortilla chips or celery sticks.

BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH CHARRED ONION RANCH DIP

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Pierce the sweet potatoes multiple times with a paring knife or a fork. Place the potatoes along the outer edges of the indirect heat side of the grill. Cover the grill and bake until the potatoes are completely tender, about 1 hour. (If the potatoes are ready before you are ready to serve them, you can wrap them in aluminum foil and they will stay hot for up to 1 hour.)
• Meanwhile, make the dip: Cook the scallions over direct heat, turning once, until charred on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, finely slice and add to a bowl. Mix in the sour cream, parsley, Ranch Rub and celery seeds. Set aside until ready to serve.
• To serve: Split the sweet potatoes down the middle with a knife and spoon some of the ranch sour cream over, letting it melt down into the potato. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
• (Alternatively, you can bake the potatoes in a 400 degrees F oven for 1 hour.)
• Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Makes about 3/4 cup.
