RED CURRY LENTILS WITH SWEET POTATOES AND SPINACH



Red Curry Lentils With Sweet Potatoes and Spinach image

In this vegetarian main inspired by Indian dal, lentils are cooked with an aromatic blend of Thai spices - fresh ginger, turmeric, red curry paste and chile - then simmered in coconut milk until fall-apart tender. Browning the sweet potatoes before cooking them with the lentils brings out their sweetness, balancing the heat from the chile and curry paste, while baby spinach tossed in just before serving adds fresh flavor. Serve over steamed white or brown rice, or with toasted flatbread on the side.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 1 tablespoon)
1 red chile, such as Fresno or serrano, halved, seeds and ribs removed, then minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 cup red lentils, rinsed
4 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 (13-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 (4- to 5-ounce) bag baby spinach
1/2 lime, juiced
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the browned sweet potatoes to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot and set the heat to medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the curry paste, garlic, ginger, chile and turmeric, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the lentils, stock, salt and browned sweet potatoes to the pot and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Add the coconut milk and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the lentils are creamy and falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
  • Divide among shallow bowls and top with cilantro and coconut flakes, if using.

CHICKEN ROULADE STUFFED WITH PROSCIUTTO, SPINACH AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES WITH WHITE TRUFFLE POTATOES



Chicken Roulade Stuffed with Prosciutto, Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes with White Truffle Potatoes image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

6 (6-ounce) boneless chicken breasts, skin on
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 slices prosciutto ham
18 leaves fresh spinach
24 pieces sun-dried tomatoes
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/4 cup red wine
2 cups beef stock
1/4 cup tomato puree
1 cup demi-glace (brown sauce)
3 to 6 whole eggs, as needed
1 to 2 cups half-and-half, as needed
2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 cups Italian flavored breadcrumbs, or as needed
1 liter canola oil
4 medium to large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 bunch chives, chopped
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for potatoes
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
White truffle oil, to taste (2 or 3 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Lay a long piece of plastic wrap over your cutting board and tuck it underneath the sides of the board. (Covering the chicken with the plastic will also keep the mess down when you pound with the meat mallet.) The chicken breasts should be placed on the covered cutting board, skin side down, with enough space between them so they can lay flat after you "butterfly" them. To make the butterfly cut, carefully slice open (without slicing the chicken all the way through) and spread the flesh of the chicken out so you will be able to pound it out into a single thin piece on which you will place stuffing and then roll up. Season the breasts with salt and pepper. Then put another length of plastic wrap over the seasoned chicken breasts and flatten with meat mallet to integrate the seasoning into the chicken. Pound chicken thin.
  • Lay 1 slice of prosciutto ham on each breast. Add 3 leaves of spinach and 4 pieces of sun-dried tomatoes on each breast. Fold in each end and roll tightly. Place on sheet tray and freeze until firm. (It does not have to be frozen completely hard, but this makes it easier to handle when breading.)
  • Preheat a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • While the chicken roulade is hardening in the freezer, prepare the tomato demi-glace. In a saucepan, saute garlic and then deglaze the pan with the wine. Add stock and tomato puree. Boil over medium heat until reduced by half. Add the demi-glace (brown sauce) and let simmer until thickened ("medium thickness").
  • When the chicken is firm, set up a breading station. Whisk together 3 eggs and 1 cup of the half-and-half for the egg wash. (Begin with this amount and whisk more together if needed.) Then set up a bowl each of: flour, then egg wash, and then Italian bread crumbs. Evenly coat rolled frozen chicken with flour (not too much or bread crumbs won't stick). Dip floured rolled chicken into egg wash, then into bread crumbs. In a deep-fat fryer, lightly fry until golden brown. Finish in the oven for 15 minutes until completely cooked through. Remove from oven and let rest.
  • Boil the potatoes until tender. Then mash the potatoes and whip chopped chives, butter, salt and freshly ground pepper into the potatoes with a beater.
  • Re-heat the tomato demi-glace and to finish remove from heat, and immediately whisk in fresh thyme and 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Slice each chicken roll to expose the stuffed interior. Place mashed potatoes in center of each plate, drizzle white truffle oil over the potatoes. Lay chicken roulade over potatoes.

Add the steaks, and cook on both sides until cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Remove the steaks to rest in a warm spot. Place the spinach into the hot skillet, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook until the spinach has wilted.
  • Mash the potatoes with the sour cream and butter; season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, mound a serving of mashed potatoes onto the center of a dinner plate. Top with the spinach and a lamb steak. Strain the red wine sauce overtop.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 sweet potatoes (1 pound total), scrubbed and cut crosswise 1/8 inch thick (about 4 cups)
3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
1 shallot, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 bunch spinach, tough stems removed (6 ounces; 6 lightly packed cups)
4 skinless sea-bass fillets (each 6 ounces), patted dry
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons salt-packed capers, rinsed, drained, and chopped
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss sweet potatoes, garlic, and shallot with 2 tablespoons oil. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Drizzle spinach with oil and season with salt and pepper; scatter over sweet-potato mixture. Season fish with salt and pepper; place on top of spinach. Drizzle fish lightly with oil; roast until opaque and flaky, about 12 minutes. Stir together parsley, capers, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and vinegar. Drizzle mixture over fish and vegetables; serve.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, making them ideal for this dish.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: To prevent them from becoming mushy, boil the potatoes until they are just tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach wilts quickly, so make sure to add it towards the end of the cooking process.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach becomes slimy, so cook it just until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Season to taste: Use salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Serve immediately: Spinach and potatoes are best served hot, so make sure to serve them right away.

Conclusion:

Spinach and potatoes are a classic combination that can be enjoyed in many different ways. This recipe is a simple but delicious way to prepare these two vegetables. The potatoes are tender and flavorful, while the spinach adds a pop of color and a boost of nutrition. This dish is easy to make and can be served as a side dish or a main course.
