Introduction

Rich and yummy: very filling, doesn't need rice or cous cous, even though you could serve it with either. Good as a main or side dish. Rich and yummy: very filling, doesn't need rice or cous cous, even though you could serve it with either. Good as a main or side dish.

Ingredients

    *Potato, raw, 1.25 large (3" to 4-1/4" dia.)
    Onions, raw, diced .5 large
    Garlic, finely chopped 1 clove
    Beans, Broad (Fava), .5 cup
    Tofu, firm, diced 250 grams
    Mushrooms, fresh, chopped 3 medium
    *Mustard - Maille-Dijon Seeded, 1 tsp
    Tomato Sauce, 30 grams
    Red wine vinegar, 2 tbsp
    Olive Oil, 4 tbsp
    Salt, 1.5 tsp
    Pepper, black, 1 tsp

Tips

Use a waxy, yellow potato that keeps its shape when cooked - like a potato for curries. If using canned beans, just add to fried ingredients with the rest of the vegies.


Directions

Chop potatoes in chunks and steam. Pod broad beans and steam with potatoes for a couple of minutes, then retrieve and de-shell skin ready for fry. Chop all other ingredients. I like to add dill, parsley, basil and a touch of tarragon. Fry steamed potatoes in 2 tbsn oil. If it sticks, add a little water. Add the rest of the oil, onion, garlic, herbs and beans. When onions are coloured, add mushrooms, tofu and herbs and use mustard, vinegar, tomato sauce and salt & pepper to taste. Add some water to get the sauce consistency you like. Voila!
