These oven-roasted sweet potato wedges served with a generous amount of fresh, home-made basil mayonnaise are the perfect comfort food. It is creaminess topped with more creaminess – and truly bursting with flavor! The tangy basil as well as the umami parmigiano reggiano adds extra character to the savoury condiment, making it even more delectable. Making a home-made mayonnaise seems a daunting task, but is actually very simple and quick to whip up. This silky basil and parmesan mayonnaise is an irresistible dip and can be combined with a wide variety of dishes. Why not use it as a sandwich spread or, instead of tartar sauce, to complement a fish course?
Sweet Potato Wedges with Parmigiano Reggiano and Basil Mayonnaise
1. Prepare the sweet potato wedges. Scrub the sweet potatoes under running water, then remove any spots or dry edges from the skin. Cut them into chunks and place the wedges on a non-stick baking tray, rub the potato pieces with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt on top. Bake in the oven, middle rack, fan 180-200°C or gas mark 5, for about 45 minutes until soft.
2. Please note: Before preparing the mayonnaise, make sure that all the ingredients you´ll need have room temperature.
3. Take a mixing bowl, add the egg yolks to it along with mustard, lemon juice and a dash of salt and pepper. With a hand mixer, combine all ingredients well.
4. Take a herb chopper (small blender) and combine fresh basil, grated parmigiano reggiano and 50 ml extra virgin olive oil. Alternatively, use a stick blender and combine the ingredients in a high rimmed bowl. Blend the ingredients well. Set aside.
5. Take the hand mixer and whisk the egg-mustard mixture on middle speed while very slowly pouring the remaining 200 ml of extra virgin olive oil to the bowl. Make sure not to rush the procedure as the egg may curdle otherwise. With a steady speed, the mixture should become thick and smooth. Once the oil is used up, carefully add the basil and parmesan oil. Combine well.
6. Serve the mayonnaise immediately. If the sweet potato wedges are not ready once the mayonnaise is prepared, store it in a sterilized glass jar or a vacuum seal plastic tub in the fridge. Because the mayonnaise is made with raw eggs, it should not stay uncovered and outside the fridge for too long. It can go off very easily, so make sure to keep it cool and finish it off within 3 days.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the New Victoria Theatre in Woking, is the Pantomime of the season – evident by its packed houses and welcoming applause. Perfect for all age groups, it really has something for everyone, so a real family treat.
Our very own National Treasure, the charismatic Gok Wan opens the show as the Man in the Mirror as he is flown across the stage in all his glittering glory, with his droll delivery and witty one-liners, as he draws in the crowd and captures an abundance of new young fans.
Aaron James is highly entertaining as the blundering Muddles whose comedy routines are hilarious, from his A to Z impersonations to the cleverly skilled ‘shopping trolley’ delivered with perfection and aplomb, which the audience adore, which is evident by their rapturous response.
For those of us who were terrified of the Wicked Queen in the original Disney Film, Harriet Thorpe carries this through exquisitely to the present day with her delightful but dastardly Queen Lucretia, who sets out to capture the young Prince, played deftly by Benjamin Purkiss, with some hilarious interjections along the way.
It is quite refreshing too that the Pantomime stays true to tradition with an abundance of innuendos, crass jokes and repetitive banter with the only nod to woke being when the Princess, played perfectly by Rebekah Lowings, proposes to the Prince on one knee with humorous role reversal.
The show is also lavish, with music provided by the live orchestra ensemble and superb dance routines from eight fabulous young dancers, choreographed by Paul Domaine.
The Seven Dwarfs are a true highlight of the show, with their amusing anecdotes and fun banter, in addition to their spectacular ‘knees-up’ and you will have to see the Pantomime to find out exactly what I mean by that.
The run ends this Sunday 2nd January, so be quick You can order tickets online here : BUY TICKETS
