Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 5 medium (1134 g) Yukon potatoes (peeled and quartered)
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 1 medium (113 g) onion (diced)
  • 0.5 cups (118 ml) frozen peas
  • 0.5 cups (118 ml) organic frozen corn kernels
  • 2 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 0.25 tsp ground turmeric
  • 0.25 tsp cumin
  • 0.125 tsp salt
  • 0.125 tsp pepper
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil for brushing
  • 2 tbsp brown mustard
  • 0.25 cups (59 ml) chopped fresh cilantro
  • 0.5 cups (118 ml) water
  • 0.25 cups (59 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium-sized pot 2/3 full with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and potatoes; cook for about 20 minutes, or until tender.
  2. In the meantime, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add diced onions and cook for 3–4 minutes over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cook until evaporated. Continue cooking for about 20 minutes, adding 2 tablespoons of water at a time if necessary to prevent burning.
  3. Add peas, corn, ginger, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute and set aside.
  4. Drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking water. Transfer them to a medium bowl, add ½ cup of cooking water, and mash using a fork or potato masher. Add onions, peas, and corn, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil; mix well. Taste and add ½ to ¼ teaspoon of salt if necessary.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  6. Brush both sides of each wonton wrapper with extra virgin olive oil. Carefully press each wonton wrapper into the muffin tin to form a cup. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Fill each wonton cup with 2 tablespoons of warm potato filling and serve immediately with cilantro sauce.

  9. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Notes

  • For crispier wonton cups, bake them for an additional 2-3 minutes after filling with the potato mixture.
  • To make the cilantro sauce ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Feel free to experiment with other vegetables in the filling, such as diced carrots or bell peppers.
