Best Sweet Potato Tian With Spiced Shrimp And Prosciutto Recipes

SPICED SWEET POTATO AND PARSNIP TIAN

Steps:

• Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 325°F. Bring cider to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, add butter, thyme, Aleppo, and 2 tsp. salt, and cook, stirring, until butter is melted. Let cool slightly.
• Place potatoes and parsnips in a large bowl. Pour cider mixture over and toss to coat. Stack a handful of slices about 3" high, then place vertically in casserole dish. Using a measuring cup or small bowl, keep slices standing up as you go, working around the perimeter and then into the center, forming concentric circles. Continue arranging slices in pan until tightly packed (you may have some leftover). Pour in cider mixture to come halfway up sides of dish; discard remaining cider mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tsp. salt and cover tightly with foil.
• Bake, covered, 1 hour. Remove foil and brush pan juices over tops of slices with a pastry brush. Increase oven temperature to 425°F and bake, uncovered, until golden brown on top, 35-40 minutes more.

SWEET-POTATO TIAN WITH SPICED SHRIMP AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the bottom of a 12-by-3 1/2-inch round clay casserole dish. Layer 1/3 of the sweet potatoes in the dish, overlapping the slices slightly. Season with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Scatter 1/3 of the onions over the sweet potatoes.
• Repeat with the remaining sweet potatoes and onions, seasoning each layer of potatoes with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Combine the wine and Sherry and pour over the top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoons of salt, pepper, pepper flakes and cayenne. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Scatter the prosciutto strips over the sweet-potato mixture. Top with the shrimp. Bake, uncovered, until the shrimp is just cooked through, about 16 minutes. Combine the bread crumbs with the parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Sprinkle the crumbs over the shrimp and place under the broiler until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
