Equipment

  • Baking tray
  • Saucepan or cooking pot

Ingredients

  • 8 medium potatoes
  • 2 cups frozen peas cooked
  • 1 can black beans (400g/14oz) (or other beans of choice) drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups green beans cooked from fresh/frozen
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 lemon juiced
  • dash of salt and ground black pepper
  • 4 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp sunflower seeds roasted

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 200 C (390 F). Place potatoes onto a baking tray and pierce them slightly with a knife or a fork to avoid an explosion and help baking faster.
  • Bake for around 40 minutes, until potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a knife.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing. First, boil the frozen green beans (they take longer to cook than the peas) around 10 minutes, until cooked to your liking. Drain the water and set aside.
  • In the same pot, boil water and add the frozen green peas. Cook for 4-5 minutes to make sure peas do not get overcooked. Drain and set aside to cool down.
  • Into a separate bowl add drained black beans, cooled green peas, diced avocado, a dash of salt and pepper, maple syrup and lemon juice. Stir the ingredients and set aside.
  • Once potatoes are baked slice them open on the long edge to create boats. Place the bean mix into the potato boats and add cooked green beans aside.
  • Top up with 1 tbsp tahini per serving, using it as a dressing. Sprinkle some roasted sunflower seeds optionally.
