Sweet Potato Hash with Carmelized Onions, Sausage & Eggs

Wow, this was definitely my best meal last week!  I have wanted to try this for a long time, and it did not disappoint. Takes some prep, but the finished product is beautiful and so flavorful.  

We started the meal with a spinach salad, topped with unsalted sesame seeds, pomogranate seeds, avacado slices, goat cheese, apple pieces, and this dressing. Below are the ingredients for the hash - find the full recipe HERE.  By the way, I didn't add in my onions and sausage until halfway through the oven time because I did not want them completely black, though a little blackened was good.  Also, I didn't make this ahead so we added the eggs in just at the end of cooking. Find the full recipe for Sweet Potato Hash with Carmelized Onions, Sausage & Eggs here. 

2 pounds onions, about 2 large (I used sweet onions)

1 T unsalted butter

Table salt

1 pound fresh Italian sausage or chorizo (we used mild Italian sausage) 

3 pounds sweet potatoes, about 3 large potatoes

6 large garlic cloves

4 long stalks rosemary, about 1/4 cup of leaves (I just used dried rosemary)

3 T olive oil

1 T kosher salt (I only used 1 teaspoon and thought it was plenty)

Freshly ground black pepper

Eggs

Parmesan cheese (we didn't use this)

Island Kale and Sweet Potato Soup

This is a recipe my sister gave me.  I think the coconut milk gives it very unique, exotic taste. Great with rice. Find the recipe HERE.

Butternut Squash Soup & Variations

I tried this soup a few weeks ago and it was delicious.  I think it is a good base and has some good add-in ideas.  When I made it, I used the following ingredients (my add-ins are bolded):

4 lbs. butternut squash

2 medium onions

3 cloves garlic

3 T butter 

1/2 tsp salt

8 cups chicken broth

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1/2-1 jalepeno (no seeds)

grated ginger

milk

cinnamon and nutmeg on top

BTW, the squash in your bag this week is BANANA squash, but I think it would work as well. Also, I cooked the whole squash in the oven for awhile first to make it easier to cut.  Find the entire recipe and cooking instructions HERE.  

Roasted Potatoes (so easy, delicious, and even pretty)

2 Sweet potatoes or yams
10 Red potatoes
Olive Oil
Seasoned salt

Wash both kinds of potatoes, peel sweet potatoes, then cut into bite size pieces and toss in a bowl with olive oil and seasoned salt.  Spread onto jelly roll pan and bake at 350 for about 35-45 minutes, test with a fork.
