Description
A delicious and hearty recipe for stuffed sweet potatoes filled with creamy mushrooms and spinach.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 250g fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
- 200g spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). - Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pierce them with a fork several times. Bake them on a baking sheet for about 45-50 minutes, or until tender. - Prepare the Creamy Mushroom Filling:
While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté until the onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown. Stir in the spinach leaves and cook until they are wilted. Add butter and pour in the heavy cream, stirring well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. - Assemble the Dish:
Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise and slightly mash the insides with a fork to make space for the filling. Spoon the creamy mushroom mixture over each sweet potato half. - Serve:
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure that the sweet potatoes are cooked until soft for easy mashing.
- For added flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the mushroom mixture before adding the cream.
- You can substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
