Stuffed baked potatoes are easy to prepare and will make a delicious and healthy lunch, dinner or side dish. Add a fresh summary kick with a yogurt-herb sauce.
Preparation time: 50 minutes
What you need:
4 large floury potatoes, halved
1 tablespoon oil
1 medium onion, chopped
5oz (150g) baby spinach
7oz(200g) mushrooms, quartered
5oz (150g) shredded mozzarella or other cheese
1 cup (150g) cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
For the herb sauce:
1 cup (250g) plain yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped herbs (parsley, dill, cilantro – whatever you prefer)
salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons lemon juice
How to do it:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and dry the potatoes and cut in half, brush them with a little oil and place them on a baking tray (cut side up).
Bake the potatoes for about 30 minutes, or until soft when you prick with a fork.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan at medium heat, add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and the mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and oregano. Reduce heat and add spinach. Mix everything well.
Once the potatoes are soft, scrape out a bit of the soft potato flesh to make a bit of a mold; mix the mash with the veggie filling.
Fill the potatoes with the veggie filling and top with the cheese. Bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese has melted.
For the herb sauce:
In the meantime, mix the yogurt with herbs and lime and taste with salt and pepper. Add a but of water, if the yogurt is very stiff.
Serve the stuffed baked potatoes and top them with the herb sauce.
Enjoy!
