MICROWAVE JACKET SWEET POTATOES RECIPE - BBC FOOD



Microwave jacket sweet potatoes recipe - BBC Food image

Microwave jacket sweet potatoes make a wonderfully quick and easy meal. Take your pick of these three delicious fillings, or make all of them! The veggie chilli makes enough for four portions, great for lunch tomorrow. The smoked mackerel and pea fillings each make enough for two portions. This recipe was tested using a 900W microwave oven. If your oven has more or fewer watts, you will need to adjust the cooking time.

Provided by Justine Pattison

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 sweet potatoes, washed and dried
75g/2½oz smoked mackerel, skinned and roughly mashed with a fork
3 tbsp half-fat crème fraîche or soured cream
2 spring onions, trimmed and thinly sliced
½ unwaxed lemon, finely grated zest only
freshly ground black pepper
100g/3½oz frozen peas
100g/3½oz feta
2 tbsp plain yoghurt
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
freshly ground black pepper
½ red pepper, deseeded and diced
400g tin kidney beans in chilli sauce
198g tin sweetcorn in water
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
50g/1¾oz mature Cheddar, coarsely grated
4 tbsp soured cream
fresh coriander, to garnish
1 lime, cut into wedges, to serve

Steps:

  • Prick the sweet potatoes two or three times with a fork and put on a microwaveable plate. Microwave on high for 5–6 minutes for one potato or 7–8 minutes for two. Test the potatoes are soft by inserting a skewer through the middle, it should slide in easily. If the potatoes remain a little hard, cook for longer, testing again every 30 seconds. Divide the potatoes between plates, make a cross in the centre and open to fill.
  • To make the smoked mackerel filling, mix all the ingredients together and season with lots of black pepper.
  • To make the pea and feta filling, microwave the peas on high for 2–3 minutes, until thawed and just warm. Mash them with a fork, until well broken up, then mix in the feta, yoghurt and mint. Season with lots of black pepper.
  • To make the veggie chilli filling, put the red pepper in a large microwavable bowl and cook on high for 1½–2 minutes, until soft. Add the beans and sweetcorn in its water, stir well and microwave on high for 4–5 minutes, until hot. Stir in the lime juice and mix well. Spoon into the cooked sweet potatoes and top with the cheese. Microwave for 1–2 minutes, until the cheese melts. Top with the soured cream, coriander and lime wedges.

Provided by Patty Catalano

Categories     Side dish    Whole vegetable    Lunch    Dinner    Meal prep components    Breakfast

Total Time 780S

Prep Time 120S

Cook Time 660S

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 to 2 (8-ounce) sweet potatoes
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Scrub the potatoes. Use a clean sponge or vegetable brush to scrub 1 to 2 sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat dry. Trim away any blemishes with a paring knife.
  • Pierce with a knife or fork. Prick each potato four or five times all over with a paring knife or fork to allow steam to escape.
  • Optional: Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper. If desired, rub the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Microwave for 5 minutes. Place the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave at 100% power for 5 minutes. If your microwave does not have a rotating turntable, flip the potatoes after 2 minutes for even cooking.
  • Check the potatoes. When ready, the potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork or paring knife all the way to the center. Continue to microwave in 1-minute bursts as needed until the potatoes are cooked through. Use oven mitts to remove the dish from the microwave.
  • Optional: Crisp the potatoes in the oven. If you’d like crispier skin, arrange a rack 4 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler to high while the potatoes are microwaving. Place the microwaved potatoes directly on the oven rack. Broil until the skin is dry and crisp, about 6 minutes.
  • Serve the potatoes. Use a knife to split the potatoes lengthwise, then fluff the flesh with a fork.

    1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
    2. Scrub the sweet potatoes, pat dry, then rub with a little olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast on a baking tray for about 40 minutes, or until cooked through (or prick with a fork and cook in the microwave for 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender).
    3. Finely grate the lemon zest into a small bowl and mix in the yoghurt, turmeric and cumin. Leave at room temperature until needed.
    4. Scrub the carrot, radishes and beetroot, peel the onion and core the apple. In this order, carefully push the carrot, radishes, red onion, apple and beetroot through the grating blade of your food processor, or coarsely grate by hand, then tip into a bowl.
    5. Mix the veg with the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
    6. A few minutes before your potatoes are ready, toast the seeds in a small frying pan on a medium heat for 2 minutes, or until smelling fantastic. At this point, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (if using) and let it bubble until it starts to thicken, then take off the heat. Carefully pour onto a sheet of greaseproof paper, leave to cool and don’t touch!
    7. Cut a cross in the top of your cooked potatoes and gently break them open with a fork, mashing a little of the inside as you go.
    8. Spoon over a good dollop of the spiced yoghurt, followed by the juicy grated salad, and the seeds. Serve with the rocket scattered over.
