Mashed Potatoes With Goat Cheese & Kale

Creamy mashed potatoes with extras built right in

I served this with Swedish meatballs and lingon berry jam.
Had no goat cheese, so I added gruyere cheese instead. The family loved it, with strong reccomendations to cook it again!
Servings: 8


INGREDIENTS:

2 Kg potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 large bunch kale, stems discarded, rinsed thoroughly of grit
1 cup whole milk
1 cup goat cheese, at room temperature (You can use other Cheese too)
salt, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Place potatoes in a large stockpot with and fill with water to cover. Salt well and bring to a boil. 
  2. Cook potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a large pan and saute the garlic and kale until tender, about 3-5 minutes, and set aside.
  4. Drain potatoes and return to pot. Mash with a potato masher, then add the milk gradually, mixing to incorporate. Do not overmash or you'll get gummy, flat potatoes.
  5. Stir in goat cheese and kale, add salt to taste and serve. Can be made a day ahead of time and reheated in a pot over low heat or in the oven.

Prep Time:  20 minutes Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Posted in Romanesco, Side Dish


Roasted Romanesco

INGREDIENTS:

1 head of Broccoli Romanesco
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons shredded Pecorino Romano cheese
⅛ teaspoon salt
15 turns fresh ground pepper
Hot paprika or red pepper flakes (optional)


DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C and line baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick spray.
2. Take a deep breath as you realize you are going to actually eat this spiky, alien looking vegetable. It's going to be okay.
3. Cut off Romanesco florets (as you would broccoli or cauliflower) and place in a medium size bowl.
4. Season with salt, pepper.
5. If you are using the hot paprika or red pepper flakes, lightly sprinkle them to taste over the top - I used the paprika. (You don't need a lot unless you really want it spicy).
6. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the Pecorino Romano and toss to coat.
7. Lay Romanesco in single layer on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, turning once at the halfway point.
8. Sprinkle remaining shredded Pecorino Romano over the top just before serving.
