"Potato Patata"
This month it’s all about potatoes. Potatoes are one of the most versatile
starches out there. You can do any and
everything with them. Have you ever mixed it with rice? This is seriously a
carbohydrates overload but it’s a really good recipe.
The garlic and rosemary perfume the rice so perfectly, and the sweet
potatoes add the perfect creamy finish. I don’t even know what possessed me to add
sweet potatoes to some rice. I had the task of making two potato recipes for
the blog as well as cooking some oxtail and rice for dinner. I did not want to make two potato recipes and
white rice to go with the oxtail. So the light bulb went off and I was like well
maybe I can combine the potato and the rice so ill only have to cook three items
and not four. I figured the worst that could happen is it does not taste good or the potatoes would get too mushy. Luckily neither of those things happened.
My (meaning chef johns) fool proof basmati rice method is at work. 2
cups rice 3 cups liquid 20 minutes cooking very low and 8 minutes to
steam with the flames off, it never fails. The only thing I did
was add an extra half cup of liquid to compensate for any absorption
of liquid from the sweet potatoes.The garlic and rosemary is sooooooooooo good in the rice it is unbelievable;
a very unique flavor. I think it’s because my brain processes rice to taste a
certain way, the intensity of the garlic in this one was a lovely change. I can’t
even tell you how spectacular it was with the oxtails. All in all, this rice is a winner!
