I'm back today with I quick recipe I made for tea last night. Again, it's from the BBC Good Food website - my biggest source of inspiration! We served it with Chicken Kiev and salad and it made a nice change from a plain baked potato with butter.
Pizza Baked Potatoes
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 baking potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ red onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 60g pack sliced pepperoni, torn
- 400g can chopped tomatoes
- ½ small pack basil leaves, shredded
- 100g grated mozzarella
Method
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Scrub the potatoes and dry well, then prick several times with a fork. Bake directly on the oven shelf for 1-1½ hrs, until they feel soft. If you are short of time, prick each potato with a fork, wrap in a sheet of kitchen paper and microwave on High for 8-10 mins until soft inside.
- While the potatoes cook, heat the oil in a small pan and sauté the onion for 5 mins to soften. Stir in the garlic and pepperoni, and cook for 1-2 mins, then add the chopped tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 mins. Season and stir in half the basil. Spoon over the split potatoes and top each one with a good handful of cheese and the rest of the basil.**
Recipe from Good Food magazine, March 2014
**There were no further instructions for how long to cook the potatoes but I just put them back in the oven for around 10 mins until the cheese had melted.
