Sweet Potato Casserole
Panes con Pavo (Salvadorean Style)
Ingredients:
Turkey (I used about a 14 pounder)
Rolls
Romaine lettuce
Slices of tomatoes
Slices of peeled cucumber
Thin slices of radishes
Mayo
Marinade:
1/4 cup of softened butter
1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup of yellow mustard
1 Tablespoon coarse salt (or 1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh cracked ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Adobo or other favorite savory spice blend, I used cajun last time
Sauce:
2 medium green peppers, whole
2 medium onions, quartered
2 large cans chopped tomatoes
1 small can tomato and onion mix
1 very big handful cilantro/coriander
1 very big handful flat leaf parsley
2 celery sticks, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 – 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
Directions:
Wash turkey well inside and out. Pat dry. Mix all marinade ingredients together into a liquidy paste. Don’t worry if it’s not a perfectly smooth mixture (I often forget to leave the butter out to soften and end up with little lumps of cold butter in the marinade. Not to worry.) Bathe the turkey in the marinade, inside and out and between the skin of the breast and the meat. (The skin really isn’t a big deal with this recipe, so don’t worry if it rips.) Then take a very sharp, small knife and poke holes in the turkey, all over, front back, breast, thighs, etc. Leave to marinade overnight in the fridge.
The Next Day:
Take turkey out and in a deep roaster, put it in a hot oven (400F/200C). Let it brown, probably about 30-40 minutes, start to check it after 20 minutes. Lower the heat (350F/175C) and bake the turkey for approximately 3 hours or until it’s basically falling off the bones. If it starts to get too browned at the end, cover with foil.
Sauce:
Put the quartered onions and green peppers in a dry pan over high heat. Blister the heck out of them: When good and charred, split the peppers in half and take out the seeds. Add them (in rough chunks) along with the onions into a big bowl with all the other sauce ingredients and blend, blend, blend till smooth. Then pour over the browned turkey.
Now you just stuff a lovely roll (Ciabatta, french, etc.) with lots turkey meat after you generously spread mayo on the roll. Add lettuce, tomato, cucumber and lots of sauce!!!
