Twice-baked Potatoes

Twice-baked Potatoes

6 or so Baking Potatoes
A Few Large Spring Onions, chopped (including green parts)
1/2 – 1 cup soy yogurt
2 tsp Smoked Paprika
3-4 Tbl fresh Herbs (such as dill, cilantro, parsley and/or basil)
1/3 cup Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Salt
2 Tbl good quality Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon, juiced

Clean the potatoes and poke with a fork. Place the (whole, unpeeled) potatoes uncovered in a 375 degree oven until tender when pierced with a knife, about one hour.

Once the potatoes have cooled slightly (just enough to not burn yourself) cut them in half and scoop out most of the insides with a spoon. Be sure to leave a quarter inch gap, or else the skins will collapse.

Mix the scooped-out potatoes with all the rest of the ingredients in a glass bowl. Add salt to taste, and more soygurt if the filling seems dry. Scoop the potatoes back into the shells, and bake for approximately 30 more minutes.

Twice-Baked Potatoes, Roasted Asparagus, Baked Tofu

We baked potatoes, and then scooped out the insides and mixed with chopped spring onions, green garlic, nutritional yeast, tahini, salt and pepper, plus a little sheep cheese for those that wanted some. We then brushed the tops with oil and rebaked the potatoes for another 15 or so minutes.

If you have not tried roasted asparagus before, you are missing out!

Roasted Asparagus

1-2 bunch Asparagus
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

Rinse the asparagus. Break off the bottom couple inches (as little as you can so long as it breaks crisply), or else peel those inches with a potato peeler. Toss the asparagus with oil and salt and pepper. Roast in a 425 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, until starting to brown. Serve as is, or with a lemon wedge.
