Sweet Potato With Sausage Meatball Marinara Recipes

Steps:

• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine potatoes, 1 tablespoon oil and salt. Microwave, covered, on high for 6-8 minutes or until tender, stirring every 2 minutes., Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; remove with a slotted spoon., In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-low heat. Add apple and carrot; cook, covered, 5-7 minutes or until carrot is just tender, stirring occasionally. Return sausage to pan. Stir in sweet potatoes and seasonings; cook, covered, 10-12 minutes or until carrot is tender.

Steps:

• Squeeze out the meat from the sausages and roll it into eight balls. Fry the meatballs in a little olive oil until golden all over. Add the passata, ketchup, fennel, chilli flakes and oregano and bubble without a lid for 8-10 mins until the sauce thickens and the meatballs are cooked through. Season well.
• Heat the grill to high. Split the baked sweet potatoes and place them in a small, foil-lined baking dish. Fill the potatoes with the meatballs and sauce, then top with the cheese. Grill for about 2 mins until the cheese melts. Top with the chilli flakes.

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan filled two-thirds full with water to a boil. Add the wheat berries, and cook until the grains have plumped and are tender but still chewy, 55 minutes to 1 hour; strain. (The wheat berries can be cooked and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.)
• Squeeze the sausage out of the casings, divide into 20 pieces and roll into Ping-Pong-ball-sized meatballs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs, and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until brown and crispy, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat, and transfer the meatballs to a plate. They should be about 3/4 of the way cooked. Wipe out the skillet.
• Put the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper in the skillet, and set over medium heat. Once the oil starts to shimmer, stir until the garlic is lightly golden, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste, and stir until the oil turns yellow, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the basil and 1/2 cup water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Add the meatballs, and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens and the meatballs are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Stir in the wheat berries, and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and basil, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble sausage into skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Remove sausage with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil from the skillet. Heat oil over medium heat and add bell peppers, onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 7 minutes.
• Add to the skillet the potatoes, sausage, salsa and cumin. Stir and cook about 5 minutes to heat through and blend flavors. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425º. Place sweet potatoes and onion in 15x10x1-in. baking pan; drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with brown sugar and seasonings; toss to coat. Bake for 15 minutes. Gently stir in pears; top with sausages., Bake 20 minutes longer, stirring once. Increase oven temperature to 450º. Bake until sausages are golden brown and a thermometer inserted in sausage reads at least 160º, 8-10 minutes longer, turning once.
