Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup sweet potato purée
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound Sweet potato, peeled and diced
- ¼ cup butter
- 3 cups well seasoned vegetable stock
- 3 cup 40% heavy cream
- For the potatoes
- 1 Serrano pepper
- ¼ cup shredded Traders Point Creamery Clothbound Cheddar
- ⅓ cup ice cubes
- Olive oil as needed
- 1 pound Arugula
- 4 Oranges, zest and juice
- 5 cloves garlic
Preparation
For the eggs:
Whisk the eggs and butter in a cold pan. Set heat to medium low and keep whisking eggs. Once eggs start to set up add a little salt. As soon as eggs are soft enough for your liking, turn off heat and fold in sweet potato purée. Finish with a little pepper.
For the potatoes:
Place all ingredients in a heavy bottomed pot. Bring to a rolling boil. Reduce to simmer. Cook until potatoes are fork tender. Strain mixture, reserving liquid. Place the cooked potatoes and peppers in blender and add enough reserved cooking liquid to cover. Blend mixture on medium speed, adding liquid as needed to form a smooth purée. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
For the "mimosa pesto":
Place all the ingredients (except the oil) in food processor. Top with ice. Pulse together to form heavy paste. Season with salt and pepper. Emulsify in oil until sauce is formally combined.
