Ingredients:
– 1 lb lean ground pork
– 1 lb fresh broccoli crowns
– 2 lbs jumbo yams
– 1/2 lb onions (about half of a medium onion)
– 1 pack Essential Everyday crescent rolls
Preparation:
Step 1: Prepare the Mashed Yams
Start by peeling and chopping the yams into chunks. Boil them in salted water for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Once they’re cooked, drain the yams and mash them with a bit of butter, salt, and pepper to taste. This creamy side will perfectly complement the savory rolls.
Step 2: Make the Stuffed Rolls
While the yams are boiling, finely chop the half onion and broccoli. In a skillet, cook the ground pork with the chopped onion over medium heat until the pork is browned and the onion becomes translucent. Then, add the chopped broccoli and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste for extra flavor.
Next, preheat your oven according to the instructions on the crescent roll package. Open the crescent roll dough and lay out the triangles on a baking sheet. Take a spoonful of the pork and broccoli mixture and place it at the wide end of each triangle. Roll them up, starting from the wide end, and place the stuffed rolls on the baking sheet.
Step 3: Bake
Bake the stuffed rolls according to the crescent roll package directions, usually around 10-12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and puffed up. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the warm stuffed rolls on a plate with a generous scoop of the creamy mashed yams on the side. This meal is not only flavorful, but it also brings a comforting touch to your dinner table.
Gather your loved ones and enjoy this hearty meal that serves four. It’s a perfect option for busy weeknights or when you want to impress your guests without breaking the bank. Bon appétit!
