Roasted Sweet Potato And Miso Soup With Collard Green Furikake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Rinse the collard greens and thoroughly dry them in a salad spinner or by patting them with a paper towel. Toss the greens with 1 1/2 teaspoons avocado oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Lay them in a single layer on one of the prepared sheet pans. Bake until lightly browned and crispy, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool the collards on the sheet pan. Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
• Heat 1/4 cup avocado oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and ginger and cook until they begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the fried shallots and ginger with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain. Add the miso to the skillet and mix it into the infused oil. Remove from the heat.
• Use a pastry brush to coat all sides of the sweet potatoes with the miso-oil mixture. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste and place on the second prepared sheet pan. Roast until the potatoes are fork-tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Put the benne seeds in a medium skillet and toast over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Combine 1 tablespoon of the toasted benne seeds, the red pepper flakes and the fried shallot and ginger in a small bowl. Gently crumble the crispy collard greens into the mixture.
• Blend the remaining toasted benne seeds in a food processor until smooth and runny. Season with salt to taste.
• Transfer the hot roasted sweet potatoes to a serving plate. Drizzle with some of the benne seed butter (store any leftover butter in an airtight glass container). Garnish with the collard green furikake and serve hot. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Wrap the tofu in kitchen paper, place in a shallow dish and put a heavy plate on top to help squeeze out the water. When the paper is wet, replace with another wrapping and weigh down again. Chop the tofu into medium cubes (about 2.5cm). In a small bowl, mix the dressing together with a whisk.
• Boil the beans for 1 min, then drain, rinse in cold water and set aside. Line a baking tray with parchment, spread out the tofu and pour over half the dressing. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and mix well. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden and crisp. Meanwhile, cut the sweet potatoes in half, place in a bowl, cover with cling film and microwave for 10-15 mins until very soft.
• Mash the sweet potato and serve in bowls with the tofu, green beans, the dressing poured over and some spring onions sprinkled on top.
