GFGF - Vegan Sweet Potato Skillet

-


So this week in my Good Friends Good Food group I chose sweet potatoes for our vegetable base.  I did not know what I wanted to prepare with the potatoes, but I knew I wanted to try something totally different.  I love baked sweet potatoes with lots of butter and brown sugar cinnamon topping.  I love sweet potato casserole with pecans, brown sugar and even mini marshmallows on top.  I love candied sweet potatoes.  But I made this sweet potato skillet.

We have been out of town all week at the beach seeing God’s beautiful creation. The ocean.  It is so amazing to me.  Nothing brings me peace like sitting listening to the waves crash against the shore.  We saw a pretty big shark one morning.  It was enough to keep us out of the water!

Okay back to the potato skillet.  I will admit I may have put a tad too much soy sauce because I did not measure it out.  This was supposed to be a main course.  We had some baked chicken along side it.  Would I make it again.  No.  The flavors of the ingredients just did not mix well for me.  But to each their own and there is someone out there who would truly love this.  The recipe is easy to prepare.


Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 3 cups sweet potato chopped into matchsticks

• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

• 2 cloves garlic , minced

• 1/2 onion, diced

• 1/4 cup lemon juice

• 1/2 cup peas

• 1/2 cup sweet corn 

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1/3 cup flour

• 2 tbsp tomato paste

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

Cook the potatoes and onions in the oil for five minutes. Add the rest of ingredients and cook another five minutes or so until the mushrooms are cooked.  Serve.

I can see where this could be good or not so much…different combinations than I am used to so it would be a “make and see” proposition. I’ve never had sweet potatoes with additional sweetening as they always seem sweet enough but maybe I should try a lightly sweetened recipe and explore that option. I would have tried your dish to see what these flavors do together but since you don’t recommend it, I’ll trust you on that. Good to try new things, you get points for that!!

Peggy, sorry this one didn’t work out for you. I can see where some of these ingredients might not necessarily go together not sure about that Sawyer sauce. But until you try something you never know, right?

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes.  At this point, they are perfe

TWD - Steph’s Bakewell Tart

What is a Bakewell Tart, you might ask.  Apparently it all began in Derbyshire, England.  I had no idea it was popular with  The Great British Baking Show.   This classic  combines a buttery shortcrust pastry with a filling of raspberry jam, (or in my case blackberry jam), topped with an almond spongecake and almond slices. I think there are probably many different versions of the Bakewell. On my first attempt, my crust totally fell apart in the oven.  At that point, I went to plan b and made four mini tarts.  These worked perfectly for us.  I have a very thin layer of the jam and wish I had used a bit more.  We enjoyed this and it was a breeze to put together.   Check out Tuesdayswithdorie.wordpress.com for others.

TWD - Brown Sugar Bundt Cake

It is my turn to host! Almost three years ago I had no idea what a food blog was, much less that there were ladies and gentlemen all across the world baking and writing about such things, and sharing and growing with each other over recipes.  I'm not a chef or a great baker, but I do love to cook for my family so I decided to join in.  Since we are just two days past Mother's Day, I want to thank my sweet mother (who passed away three years ago) for sharing her love of cooking with me. My first Dorie recipe was a fruit galette.  I remember still how delicious it was.  I even remember the first comment I received on my blog.  It was like an award to me!  I still love reading all your comments, so thank you to those of you who regularly stop by to leave encouragement and stop for a second to say hello. Now about Dorie.  I love the way Dorie explains her recipes step by step.  While some of the recipes in her book "appear" complicated, I think any novice could fol
