The shaping of the potatoes looks like the mountain from the movie Close Encounters of the third kind. This is a vegan dish that rocks my world. Ingredients:
4 jumbo sized russet potatoes about 2 1/2 pounds |
1 large spanish onion rough chopped into large 1-inch pieces |
1 head of garlic |
6 mushrooms sliced |
a 2-inch wide strip of red bell pepper |
3 cherry tomatoes chopped |
1-cup plain soy milk |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
3 teaspoons sea salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon of dried mushroom powder |
1-teaspoon chipotle chili pepper |
1 1/2 cups of cold water |
4 tablespoons of corn starch |
2 tablespoons of bragg amino acid |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Rub the head of garlic with olive oil and place it into a ramekin
3. Rub each potato with some more olive oil
4. Place the garlic and the potatoes into the oven and bake for 40 minutes
5. Remove the garlic and let cool, return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 20m minutes.
6. While the potatoes are baking, make the mushroom gravy
7. In a saucepan, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil
8. Add the onions and the red pepper cook until onions are caramelized
9. Add the mushrooms and cook for another five minutes.
10. In a small container, add the water and the cornstarch, mix until cornstarch is dissolved.
11. Add the cornstarch and water mixture slowly to the pan and stir until all of the caramelized bits are dissolved, adjust the amount of water if necessary.
12. Add the Bragg Amino Acid and set aside.
13. A neat trick; Pass the whole roasted garlic head through the ricer, remove the skins.
14. In a bowl from your stand mixer, pass the potatoes through a ricer they will clean out the rest of the garlic in the ricer, remove the skins and rough chop.
15. Place the skins back onto the baking sheet with a teaspoon of olive oil and a little sea salt and place under the broiler to crisp up like bacon bits.
16. Now add the soy milk the Chipotle pepper, some fresh ground black pepper, and the remaining teaspoon of olive oil to the bowl.
17. Place the bowl into your Stand mixer with the mixing paddle attached, whip for 1 minute on high.
18. Place a mound of the potatoes in the center of a plate
19. Then shape them into a mountain with a fork and flatten the top
20. Pour some gravy on top and let it drizzle down one side to give a volcano effect.
21. Enjoy
