It looks like a giant garlic press but it's not...
It is called a RICER.
Just when you think you have all the gadgets you need, all of a sudden you have a new favorite one especially at Turkey time. Actually this one was received as a gift by accident back when I lived in Milwaukee. One day I was visiting in Cumberland's teacher lounge at lunch time talking about needing to replace my rice cooker. It had really had a long lifetime as it was a wedding gift some 28 years before. One of my sweet colleagues overheard the conversation and the next day arrived with a "ricer" as she had two. I laughed and expressed my appreciation for her generosity but I was talking about my rice cooker. Chuckle, chuckle and I had no clue whatsoever what a ricer even was. She insisted I take it and that it was great for making perfect mashed potatoes.
Hence it gets pulled out this week to help make a new 'Sweet Potatoes' Rachel Ray recipe.
I think that you will enjoy it as well...
You will need:
3 lb sweet potatoes diced small, cooked (riced/mashed)
½ stick melted butter/margarine
sliced banana (secret ingredient)
orange zest
juice of one orange juice
1/2 c brown
sugar ( you certainly don't need all this )
½ - 1 c chicken stock
salt
pepper
grated nutmeg
Squeeze the juice of that orange, giving it a minute to cook down.
Dump in the riced cooked taters (sweet potatoes).
Finally the remaining ingredients.
The 3 S's : Sugar, stock and seasonings.
A first for me was grating the nutmeg since I had always bought it 'ground.'
It really is a nut. Who knew?
