Procedure

For Glazed Sorghum Sweet Potatoes*

  1. Preheat Oven to 400 F.
  2. Place an oven safe large saute pan (I always use this Lodge 12-inch Skillet) on stove top, add grapeseed oil. Begin placing the sweet potatoes flat in the pan and begin searing them once the pan is hot. About 3-4 minutes
  3. Add butter, sorghum*, and stock. Season with salt and pepper and rosemary sprig. Allow to come to a boil and then place in the oven for about 8-10 min. If you can't source sorghum you can substitute with honey or molasses syrup.
  4. Once sweet potatoes are tender carefully remove from oven and flip sweet potatoes over.  Place pan back onto the stove and reduce to glaze the sweet potatoes. Once glazed, set aside to reserve.

* This step can be done before and reheated in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes before serving.

For Brussels and Apple Saute

  1. Begin heating up a large saute pan over medium heat.
  2. To begin sauteing, add grapeseed oil and brussels bulbs to caramelize.  About 2-3 minutes.
  3. Then add butter, apples, onions, and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes. Be sure to stir and rotate veggies periodically.
  4. Stir in brussels leaves then add stock. Season with salt, black pepper, and drizzle sherry vinegar.

To Assemble Dish
