Spicy Sweet Potato Yam Pasty Recipes

SWEET AND SPICY SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the sweet potato chunks into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle the brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, chili powder, and cayenne pepper overtop. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning. Spread onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then turn the potatoes over with a spatula, and continue baking until the sweet potatoes are golden and tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.

SPICY SWEET POTATO (YAM) PASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to GM6 (200C / 400F).
• Chop the sweet potato and carrot into small chunks, about 1cm-1.5cm across.
• Crush the garlic onto a layer of foil, and sprinkle over the cumin and chilli powder.
• Put the sweet potato and carrot onto the foil, and roil them in the spices.
• Wrap the veg up completely, so that they bake rather than roast, and put them in the oven for 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile roll out your shortcrust pastry to make a rectangle about 12" by 9".
• Break up 100g of feta cheese and crumble it across half of the pastry (leaving a gap of about half an inch around the outside of the filling).
• Cut the broccoli into very small pieces and dot in between and over the feta.
• When the baking veg comes out of the oven mash it well. If it won't mash, put it back into the oven until it's soft enough to do so.
• Spread the mash over the broccoli and feta and then top with the remaining feta.
• Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling, and push it down well to seal the pasty.
• Wash with egg or milk and bake at GM 7 (425 F / 220C).

Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet. Roast, stirring halfway though, until the potatoes are tender and the edges are crisp, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Put the chili sauce, red pepper flakes, hot sauce and remaining 2 tablespoons honey in a small saucepot. Set the pot over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the ingredients come together, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the warm glaze over the potatoes on the baking sheet and toss to coat. Pour the glazed potatoes into a serving dish and sprinkle with the pecans and scallions. Serve warm.

SPICY PIES WITH SWEET POTATO MASH

Steps:

• Boil the sweet potato for 15 mins or until tender, taking care not to overcook.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, deep, non-stick frying pan. Add the onions, cover and cook for 8 mins or until softened and starting to colour. Stir in the mince, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned. Stir in all the spices and bouillon, then add the beans with their liquid, the tomatoes and pepper. Cover and simmer for 20 mins. Stir in the corn with its liquid, season and take off the heat.
• While the mince cooks, mash the potatoes with the milk to make a stiff mash. Spoon the mince into six individual pie dishes, top each with some mash, then sprinkle over the cheese and a little paprika.
• The pies can now be frozen. If eating straight away, put under a hot grill until piping hot and the cheese is melted. To cook from frozen, thaw completely, then reheat in the oven on a baking tray at 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 for 30-40 mins or until piping hot throughout. Serve with broccoli or a salad, if you like, which will take you to all 5 of your 5-a-day.
