BEAN AND SWEET POTATO NACHOS



Bean and Sweet Potato Nachos image

A good twist on traditional nachos, these come from Linda McCartneys World Of Vegetarian Cooking. In fact, I did not make the sweet potato part, but I did make the rest of the recipe, and really loved the tomato/bean sauce. Omitting the sweet potatoes decreases cooking time by approx 60 minutes. I used only one whole green pepper, since I had no red pepper. I also made a spicy avocado guacamole, (see notes at end of recipe), and whipped some sour cream to accompany this, we loved it. Hope you enjoy them too!

  • In a large baking dish, mix the sweet potato, 2 tblsp of oil, cumin and coriander seeds, and bake, uncovered, at 180C/350F/gas mark 4, for 50-60 minutes until tender. (NB I did not make this part of the recipe)(If you also choose to omit this step, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4 now.).
  • Heat the remaining oil gently in a pan and add the onion, garlic, chilli and paprika.
  • Cover and cook until the onion is soft, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • NOTE: I made a simple guacamole with the avocado.
  • I mashed it with a tblsp lemon juice, then I added a chopped fresh tomato, a few drops of hot pepper sauce, and some ground salt and pepper.
  • I beat some lemon juice into a cup of cream.(I used more than recipe states, I like sour cream!).
  • I then served these separately, they were delicious with the nachos!

Provided by Aaron McCargo Jr.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Canola oil, for frying
2 large sweet potatoes, thinly sliced on a mandoline
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 chipotles, minced
1 1/2 cups, favorite BBQ sauce, plus some for drizzling
2 cups grated smoked Gouda
3 red jalapenos, sliced
1 bunch scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to broil. Preheat a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, with enough canola oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 325 degrees F.
  • Working in batches, deep-fry the sweet potatoes until crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from fryer to a paper towel lined platter and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • Add the grapeseed oil to a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add meat and brown it until almost cooked through, about for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste, chipotles, and salt and pepper, to taste. Stir several times to incorporate. Add the BBQ sauce, bring to a simmer and cook for an additional 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • To assemble nachos:
  • Using 2 oven-proof platters, lay some sweet potato chips on each platter. Top the potatoes with some meat, cheese, and jalapenos. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, except for a handful of jalapenos. Broil until the cheese melts, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the platters from the broiler and top them with the remaining jalapenos, a drizzle of BBQ sauce and the scallions. Serve.

SWEET POTATO NACHOS



Sweet Potato Nachos image

The chorizo and cheese in these slightly-elevated (but not too elevated) nachos add just the right note of smoke and richness, and parallel the cabernet.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean and sliced 1/4-inch thick
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
