1 large potato (or 2 smaller ones)

1 tsp smoky Creole blend ½ tin tomatoes

Recipe Instructions
| A 180’C pre-heated oven should cook; One large jacket potato in 1 hour or longer. One medium jacket potato in 45 mins or longer. To speed up the process of baking potatoes a high-power blast in the microwave for 8 minutes will help to reduce total oven time. Place potato on oven tray and rub with a little oil salt & pepper – allow timings as above. Prepare vegetables as described. In a saucepan over a medium heat, sweat onion with a little cooking oil until soft & translucent (2 – 4 mins). Add garlic to onions and cook out for 1 minute before adding spices – stirring continuously to avoid too much smoke – turn down heat if necessary. Add chopped tomatoes and beans to saucepan and let everything simmer together for 5 – 10 minutes, this allows flavours to develop. Finally taste and adjust seasoning (salt & pepper). Serve beans on top of opened fluffy potatoes topped with any optional extras. |
