Sweet Potatoes Stuffed with Burrata, Toasted Walnuts and Sage Pesto

Ingredients

  • 4 sweet potatoes 
  • 200g of burrata 
  • 50 g of shelled walnuts 
  • 100 g fresh sage leaves 
  • 50 g grated parmesan cheese 
  • 30 g of pine nuts 
  • 1 clove of garlic 
  • Extra virgin olive oil 
  • Salt and pepper 
  • Juice of half a lemon 

Instructions

  • Cooking sweet potatoes:
    • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
    • Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and dry them.
    • Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for about 45-50 minutes, until they are tender to the touch.
  • Preparation of sage pesto:
    • In a blender, combine the fresh sage leaves , pine nuts , grated parmesan and garlic clove .
    • Blend everything together, gradually adding the extra virgin olive oil until you obtain a creamy consistency.
    • Add the lemon juice , salt and pepper to taste, continuing to blend the ingredients.
  • Roasting the nuts:
    • In a non-stick pan, toast the shelled walnuts over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent them from burning. This will enhance their flavor and add a crunchy note to the dish.
  • Assembly:
    • Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
    • Cut each potato in half lengthwise and, using a spoon, create a cavity in the center, removing some of the pulp.
    • Stuff each cavity with pieces of burrata , add the toasted walnuts and finish with a generous spoonful of sage pesto .
  • Service:
    • Arrange the stuffed sweet potatoes on a serving platter and serve hot, perhaps accompanied by a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
