Chipotle Lentil–Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

• 份量: 4 servings
• 总时间: 50 minutes

配料

½ small red onion, sliced thin

¼ cup distilled white vinegar

1 small jalapeño chile, stemmed and sliced thin

4 sweet potato (8 ounces each), unpeeled, pricked all over with fork

1 (15-ounce) can lentil, rinsed

1½ tablespoons minced canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1½ teaspoons table salt, divided

¼ cup Mexican crema

2 ounces queso fresco, crumbled (½ cup)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

步骤

Note: Mexican crema can be found in the dairy section of many supermarkets. If you can’t find it, you can substitute sour cream, which has a thicker consistency.

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine onion, vinegar, and jalapeño in small bowl. Cover and microwave until hot, about 2 minutes; set aside.

Microwave potatoes on large plate until potatoes are very tender and can be easily squeezed with tongs, 12 to 15 minutes, flipping potatoes every 3 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Split each potato lengthwise. Using spoon, scoop about half of flesh from each potato into large bowl. Stir in lentils, chipotle, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pickling liquid until combined. Season insides of potatoes with remaining ½ teaspoon salt, then spoon lentil mixture into potatoes. Arrange potatoes on greased rimmed baking sheet, gently pressing halves back together until only partially open. Roast until spotty brown and hot throughout, about 10 minutes. Top with pickled onion mixture, crema, queso fresco, and cilantro. Serve.

备注

This was a winner. Super delicious, plant-based, filling. If you have dry lentils at home but not canned, simmering 1/2 cup of lentils in 1.5 inches of water for about 20 minutes worked great, and I was able to do that while doing steps 1 and 2 of the recipe, so it didn't add any time.

I didn't have crema but I made a mixture of sour cream and lime juice that approximated it.

I added a topping of french fried onions — random, but something to give a salty crunch was welcome.
