Hey, I wasn't planning on posting anything today, but this came together so nicely I couldn't resist. I had some leftover tofu fakin' (thinly sliced tofu that had been marinating in soy sauce, maple syrup, and liquid smoke), sweet potatoes, half an avocado, and some arugula that badly needed eating. So I made what I'm calling fakin' sweet potato hash. First I sauteed the fakin' until it was nice and crispy, then the sweet potatoes (I had the equivalent of two medium-sized ones), some pepitas, and half an onion until they were brown. Then I turned the heat off and stirred in the avocado, some whole-grain mustard, and smoked paprika, and served the whole mess atop a bed of arugula. This was really good! Funny how I've made several highly engineered meal enterprises that turned out less than fabulous (see my last post)--meanwhile this improvised slop was totally gourmet and delicious. Go figure.
Mmmm, that does sound like a wonderful combo! And it looks like an elegant restaurant dish. I often find that stuff thrown together comes out better than highly planned dishes. I'm definitely going to give this combo a go over the weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Stacy.
I love hash! This one sounds really good. A great combo of foods!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really tasty! A great combination of sweet and savory!
ReplyDeleteI just recently had avocado and sweet potato together. It's an unexpectedly delicious combination. Very pretty photo too!
ReplyDeleteThat's how it always goes. Some of my best meals have been when I just throw things together. This sounds and looks awesome! I'm so glad you blogged about it.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I missed this post. It does sound like a very tasty dish. Sometimes I want food just as a vehicle for Mustard.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comments, everybody! I'm so lucky to have such terrific internerd friends :).
ReplyDeleteOoo, that does look and sound very good. And your presentation is quite fancy, too. I agree with SV about mustard.
