Recipes
Scalloped Sweet Potatoes
Now THIS is the way to eat sweet potatoes!
Serves 8 to 10
Cooking spray or butter
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 to 5 medium), peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray; set aside.
Place the cream, butter, garlic, and bay leaf in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Meanwhile, combine the thyme, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Evenly distribute about half of the potatoes over the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the salt and herb mixture. Add the remaining potatoes in an even layer. Sprinkle with the remaining seasoning.
Remove the bay leaf from the cream and discard. Pour the cream and garlic over the potatoes. Push down to submerge them as much as possible. The potatoes won’t be fully submerged — that’s okay. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes more. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Turn on the oven’s broiler. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the potatoes. Broil until the cheese is melted and the top is lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Let the sweet potatoes cool for about 10 minutes before serving..
Market News
Hello!
There is still time to place an order before tomorrow night – lots of good stuff available on the Market for your Thanksgiving Day needs! We have added beautiful and delicious Sugarloaf radicchio to the market page, so if you are a fan of chicories make sure to head over and get your self some!
Please remember that Wednesday at pick up we are hosting a food drive for The Nashville Rescue Mission!
They feed thousands of homeless people and families on Thanksgiving. This year, due partly to the unseasonably warm weather and also probably due to our preoccupation with the election, food donations for their Thanksgiving meals are way down. We recently read that they are in dire need of turkeys as well as canned vegetables. If you feel so moved, please consider donating a turkey or a 10 gallon can of vegetables (which is what they prefer, but small cans will also suffice).
This Wednesday at pick up, please bring your food items and Tally will deliver them to Nashville Rescue Mission on Thursday.
If you are unable to do this, you can also make a monetary donation on their website, nashvillerescuemission.org
We are all in this together, and we need to show our support for one another more than ever!
Thank you so much for all your support!
See you Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
