Directions
1) Wash the potatoes and remove the peel
2) Add water to a saucepan. When it starts to boil, add the potatoes and cook for 8 minutes.
3) Turn off the heat, drain the potatoes and leave to cool.
4) Grate the potatoes on a coarse grater, season with salt, pepper, curry, olive oil and fresh rosemary. Set aside
Stuffing:
1) Chop the broccoli or use the “pulse” option on your blender
2) Brown the garlic in the oil in a frying pan
3) Add the broccoli and mix well.
4) Add the processed tofu to the broccoli mixture, season with nutmeg and salt. Set aside
Assembly:
1) In a frying pan, add the vegetable oil and brown the onion and leek
2) Make the first layer of grated potatoes
3) Arrange the broccoli filling on top of the potato layer
4) Cover with the last layer of potato, closing the filling
5) Let it brown on one side, then, using a plate, turn the potato over to brown the other side. It will take an average of 3 minutes to brown each side
Common Questions
1) Can I make the Batata Rosti without tofu? Of course! If you don’t have tofu or prefer another ingredient, you can use mashed white beans or even almond ricotta to maintain the creamy texture of the filling.
2) What if I can’t find leeks, can I substitute another ingredient? No problem! The leek can be replaced with more onion, which is easier to find and cheaper. The taste will be slightly different, but still delicious.
3) How can I make the Batata Rosti recipe even cheaper? To reduce costs, try substituting fresh rosemary for dried and using seasonal ingredients or those you already have at home. Adaptation is welcome in the kitchen!
4) I want to make Batata Rosti for a dinner party with friends. How can I increase the recipe for 4 people? Simply double all the ingredients listed. The preparation technique is the same, just adjust the size of the pan so that the potatoes cook evenly.
5) My Batata Rosti didn’t crisp up. What did I do wrong? The key to a crispy Batata Rosti is quite simple: make sure the potatoes are very dry before grating them and don’t crowd them in the pan. Leave room for each side to brown perfectly.
