Kitchen Creations: Skillet fun

We cooked up some sweet potato hash for dinner tonight but we took it to the max. We really pimped it out so it was a meal by itself.

Ingredients:
1/2 a container of mushrooms (it could use more)
1 apple (I used granny smith)
1 can garbanzo beans
1 small onion           1 sweet potato
2 tbs brown sugar  1 tsp paprika
2 tbs curry               1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon       1/2 cup chopped nuts
salt & pepper to taste


The Process:
1. Slice and dice the onions and apples and use a cheese shredder to shred the (peeled) potato. Start cooking the onions as soon as they're chopped up on medium/low heat- be sure to oil the skillet with some olive oil. Go ahead and preheat the oven to 400 as well.
2. Mix in the spices (sans the brown sugar) with the onions once they have been cooking for a couple minutes (we are really exact here...)
3. Throw in the diced apples, mushrooms and garbanzo beans (rinse them first) and cook for three or four minutes, stirring them occasionally.
4. Once everything is getting nice and hot, transfer it all into a large heat proof bowl and mix in the sweet potatoes and nuts. Stir it up till the sweet potatoes are evenly mixed and throw it all back on the skillet (if you can do this is the skillet go ahead, but I didn't have any room to stir it like it needed).
5. Keep cooking it on the stove for four minutes and flip every two minutes. Transfer it into the stove and let cook for 10-15 more minutes (or until it looks tasty and you are too hungry to wait any longer).
6. Sprinkle with brown sugar and serve it up. I ate it over a bed of greens that was sprinkled with red wine vinegar and my boyfriend ate it with salad on the side, either way it was delicious.

Enjoy : )
