ROASTED SWEET POTATOES TOPPED WITH SPICED GROUND BEEF AND PINE NUTS

Roasted Sweet Potatoes Topped with Spiced Ground Beef and Pine Nuts image

When I go to Israel to visit my family one of the first meals we share together always involves lots and lots of dips and spreads to go along with fresh bread. An all-time favorite hummus preparation we've enjoyed together is Lebanese hummus kawarma: hummus topped with spiced chopped, minced or ground meat, usually lamb. In the fall, I absolutely love eating roasted sweet potatoes, and the combination of the spiced meat I adore in hummus kawarma and creamy sweet potatoes makes an incredible lunch or dinner. My version calls for ground beef as the base and is a breeze to put together. Feel free to serve the meat over hummus instead of potatoes if you want to try it in the more traditional way too!

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1/2 cup raisins or currants
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 pound ground beef (preferably 80 percent lean)
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup crumbled feta
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Poke holes all over the sweet potatoes with a fork. Rub them with 2 tablespoons of oil and sprinkle with salt. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the potatoes are soft and juices bubble out of the holes, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, combine the raisins and lemon zest and juice in a small bowl. Set aside to let the raisins plump.
To make the spiced beef, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and season with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the beef, coriander, cinnamon, cumin, oregano and red pepper flakes and season with salt. Continue to cook, breaking the beef up with a wooden spoon, until the meat is browned and no longer pink, 6 to 7 minutes.
Pour in the broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the raisin and lemon mixture.
To plate, split open the tops of the potatoes with a knife, top with the beef and garnish with the pine nuts, feta and parsley. Enjoy!

From foodandwine.com

Preheat the oven to 425°. Spread the pine nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a work surface and let cool, then chop and transfer to a small bowl. Stir in the mint, lemon zest and juice and ¼ cup of the olive oil. Season the pesto with salt.
On a large rimmed baking sheet, spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer. Bake until tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and let cool, then pulse until smooth. Scrape the pureed sweet potatoes into a large bowl and stir in the flour, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Lightly dust a rimmed baking sheet with flour. On a lightly floured work surface, cut the dough into 8 pieces and roll each piece into a 1/2-inch-thick rope, about 15 inches long. Using a knife, cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces. Roll each piece against the tines of a fork to make ridges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the gnocchi until they rise to the surface, then cook for 1 minute longer. Drain well and transfer to a serving bowl. Toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then spoon the pesto on top. Sprinkle with thyme leaves and more salt; serve.
