Makes 2 large nests. Prep & Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 500g potatoes
- 100-120g shelled broad beans
- 30g fresh parsley
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 2 small spring shallots or spring onions
From the cupboard:
- 1 egg
- ½ tablespoon oregano
- salt to taste
- cooking oil for greasing
- cheddar for sprinkling
Method:
- Peel the potatoes and chop into larger cubes. Steam until tender.
- Steam the broad beans.
- Whizz the garlic, parsley and broad beans in a food processor, or alternatively use a pestle and mortar for the beans and finely chop everything else.
- Roughly mash the steamed potatoes and mix with finely chopped shallots, oregano and salt. Wait for the mixture to cool down a bit and add the egg.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease the baking tray and your hands so you can form the nests. First form a ball and place into the baking tray. Make a hole in the middle for the stuffing.
- Bake for about 15 mins. Turn the oven off and sprinkle with cheddar. Keep the tray in the oven until the cheddar melts.
