Dairy-Free and Delicious – Recipes to Get You Started

Sometimes the old favourites are the best…

Baked Potato & Assorted Fillings
Serves 1

25 -95 minutes (depending on cooking method and size of potato): 5 minutes preparation and for getting filling ready, the rest for cooking time.

  1. Scrub a large potato – prick it in a few places with a sharp knife or skewer and pop in a pre-heated oven, 220°C/450°F/Gas Mark 8.
  2. Bake for 1-1½ hours, until potato feels soft when a knife is stuck in.
  3. Alternatively, scrub, prick and microwave on the highest setting for about 12 minutes depending on your microwave. (For that nutty, crispy skin taste, stick potato in hot oven for 5-10 minutes afterwards.)
  4. Add vegan spread such as Pure, if you wish.
  5. Choose your filling:
    • Baked beans
    • Veggie curry such as Tesco Vegetable Dhal or Mushroom and Spinach Bhaji
    • Veggie chilli like Pure & Pronto Mixed Bean Chilli
    • Pasta sauce (such as Meridian brand or Dolmio) with tinned lentils, drained and rinsed
    • Bean salad – available from deli sections in supermarkets. Or make your own with a tin of drained and rinsed mixed beans, some vinaigrette dressing and chopped salad veg of your choice
