Stuffed Potatoes with Winter Greens and Beetroot Salad

Serves: 4
Prep & Cooking: 30 – 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 large or 8 small potatoes
  • 1 leek
  • 200g spinach, kale or any stir-fry veg available
  • handful of parsley
  • handful of fresh wild garlic (three-cornered garlic)
  • 300g beetroot
  • 1 large carrot
  • 2-3 stalks celery
  • 1 small red onion
  • winter purslane or any green salad available
  • 1 large apple

From the cupboard:

  • 100-150ml single cream
  • 1 egg
  • 50g mature cheddar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • cooking oil
  • olive oil
  • balsamic vinegar
  • salt to taste

Method:

  1. Steam the potatoes with the skin on. Scoop out a medium-sized hole in each.
  2. Stir-fry the leek and spinach with paprika for about 10-15 mins. At the end add the garlic, parsley and cream. When the mixture cools down a bit, add the egg.
  3. Stuff the potatoes with the spinach mixture and bake at 180° C until golden (about 10-15 mins). Switch off the oven and sprinkle the cheddar on top (leave the potatoes inside the oven until the cheddar melts).
  4. The salad: Grate the beetroot and carrots. Chop the celery, red onion and apple. Add the purslane (or salad) and mix with olive oil, salt and balsamic vinegar dressing.
