    • 1/4 cup pecans

How to make rice sweet potatoes collard torte

  • Prepare the rice by combining the rice, water, and sea salt in a pot.
  • This recipe uses a bit more liquid than would normally be used to cook rice, but this is because we want the rice to be wet and soft when it is finished cooking.
  • Cover and bring to a boil. Turn to low and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Once rice is finished cooking, stir in tahini and set aside.
  • While rice is cooking, bake the sweet potatoes.
  • Toss cut potatoes, oil, and salt in a bowl.
  • Transfer to baking sheet. It does not necessarily need to be oiled since the potatoes are oiled.
  • Roast in a 450 degrees F oven, no need to preheat oven, for about 50 minutes, or until the vegetables are not hard, and have browned.
  • During the last 30 minutes of roasting, toss vegetables every 10 minutes to ensure they do not burn on any one side.
  • When potatoes are finished roasting, remove from oven and blend in a food processor with pecans. Set aside.
  • While rice is cooking and potatoes are roasting, prepare the collards.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add oil.
  • Saute onion and collard greens, sealing them one at a time, about 11 minutes total.
  • Add the sea salt and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Briefly blend mixture in a food processor.
  • I prefer the collards not completely pureed, but rather still with some texture.
  • To assemble the torte, completely oil a 10 inch round spring form pan, especially the bottom, or use a deep dish pie pan.
  • Spread half of the rice in the bottom of the pie pan.
  • Spread sweet potato filling on top of bottom rice layer.
  • Then spread on the collard filling, and finally the remaining rice as the top layer.
  • Bake in a 375 degrees F oven, no need to preheat oven and no need to cover the pan unless it starts looking too browned on top, for 30 minutes.
  • Let cool out of the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Either serve it from the pan, or turn it out upside down on to a large platter.
  • Garnish as desired, such as eatable flowers, shredded carrots, or parsley.
  • Cut triangle pie shaped slices to serve.
  • Variations:
    • Replace either the sweet potato filling or the collard green filling with a black bean filling. This can be made similar to the collard green filling using black beans instead of collards.
    • Use kale or chard in place of collard greens.
