Sweet Potato, Apple and Mango Hash


The word, hash, does not inspire me.  It makes me wonder why I chose to make this recipe from Anne Burrell.  I decided to look up the definition and see is there is a reason for my negativity to this word.  Just look at this.

Hash Definition 
n. noun
A dish of chopped meat, potatoes, and sometimes vegetables, usually browned.
A jumble; a hodgepodge.
A mess.
To chop into pieces; mince.
To make a mess of; mangle.

Perhaps the definition explains my reaction.  A jumble, hodgepodge, mess......That is what it is though.  I cut up a bit of this and a bit of that and ended up with a delicious mess, hash.
Sweet Potato, Apple and Mango Hash



Ingredients:




2 purple yams, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 dice
2 carrots, sliced thin



Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, cut in 1/2-inch dice
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice

1 mango, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch dice


Method:



Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, add the sweet potatoes, yams and carrots and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, to taste. Toss to coat and arrange them on a baking sheet. 


Roast the vegetables until they are soft but not mushy, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and reserve.


Heat a large saute pan with olive oil.

Add the onions and saute until the onions are very soft and aromatic. 

Add the apples and mango and saute for 3 to 4 minutes.


Stir in the sweet potatoes, yams and carrots and saute until  cooked through and starting to become crispy, about 7 to 8 minutes.


Eat and enjoy.  Since this is supposed to be a hodgepodge, feel free to add whatever veggies, you would like.  I could see yellow squash fitting in nicely.

    I have never made anything named "hash" before, and that definition doesn't inspire a good reason to change that, lol. The flavor combination is what I love about this dish!! I can't wait to try it. :)

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
