Lunch/Dinner to go go
Cooking. I love cooking, but this is a quick fire challenge and I felt I must just cook what I had in front of me and then see how it all comes together. Bought a free range turkey part that was on reduced sale. The back has little meat but hopefully it will produce good stock too. Roasted it up in the oven with canola oil, salt and pepper. Pretty good, there is a little bit of fat that makes it crackling and tasty. Shredded meat off and saved the bone for stock. I had soaked pinto beans the night before, cooked them up soft. Finished part of them up fried in a pan with tiny bits of serrano pepper and bits of turkey meat. Paired with some jasmine rice, steamed broccoli and this amazing delicious Japanese sweet potato. Firmer and smaller than regular sweet potato, more dense but sweet and smooth! I washed and scrubbed it up good, dried it, rubbed it with oil and sprinkled coarse kosher salt on it. Prick with a fork (harder because it's so firm and dense) and roasted in the oven at 350' F for about 45 minutes. Outstanding! The best sweet potato I've ever had. Thank you Hana for telling me about them. In Japan they are called Satsuma-imo. Sweeter and less watery mushy than plain American sweet potato.
MMM looks good! We need share cooking skills w/ others too!
