We've learned that adding the word "cake" to any food makes it automatically more appealing to Hadley. We made these for dinner tonight, as a side dish to grilled chicken. I think they could certainly hold their own as the main dish alongside a green salad for a great vegetarian meal. Tyler had very low expectations, and in fact had me make him a baked russet potato instead. He doesn't like sweet potatoes, nor does he like goat cheese. However, they looked good enough for him to sample a bite, then another, and another. At the end of the meal he said it was one of the best flavor combinations he had tasted in a long time! Easy, delicious and the whole family enjoyed it- I think we have a winner!
The recipe is from Smitten Kitchen, but I changed it a bit. Here's what I used:
1 chopped apple (braeburn) in place of the celery
Skipped the parsley
about 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
2-3 TBSP dried cherries instead of cranberries ( I didn't actually measure any of it)
Otherwise I made the recipe as written, except the potatoes took about 25-30 minutes to roast on the first side, then an additional 10 minutes after turning.
My picture isn't as pretty as hers, but I promise that it was really yummy. I'm looking forward to eating the leftovers for lunch tomorrow, although I may have to fight the kids for them!
