Jacket Potatoes with Organic Beans

The Supermarket Waitrose has been  supporting the Soil Association’s ‘Small Changes, Big Difference’ campaign by celebrating everything organic.  This week, I was invited to take part in this celebration and asked to swap one meal a day to organic for a week.

Waitrose have a great range of vegetarian organic products and some helpful recipes  on their website.  This is a quick and easy meal I had for my lunch for Day 4 of going organic by using the organic Heinz beans and organic potatoes.

Ingredients for two servings:

• 4-5 medium organic potatoes
• 1 Organic Heinz baked beans
• 2-3 organic peppers
• 1 cup organic cheddar cheese
• 1 organic onion
• knob of organic butter
• dash of olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1.  Wash and prick the organic potatoes and microwave on high them their jackets for 8 minutes.  This should be enough t soften them.  If not, give it a couple more minutes.

2.  Open the can of Heinz Organic beans and warm them for 4 minutes in the microwave on high , stirring them once when they have cooked for 2 minutes.

3.   Chop the onions and peppers and add a dash of olive oil to them.  Microwave them on high  for 1 minute.

4.  Cut the potatoes in the centre in a cross and add the butter.  Sprinkle salt and peppers as required.  Add the baked beans on the potatoes.  Now add the cooked onions and peppers

5. Now sprinkle some cheese on the potatoes and garnish with peppers.  You can serve the potatoes with cooked or uncooked cheese.  I prefer melted cheese so put the bowl in the microwave for 20 seconds and serve. .
