Ingredients:

• 2 medium potatoes washed with skin on
• 1 cup re-hydrated soya mince
• 1 medium onion diced
• 1/2 red pepper diced
• 1 tin whole tomatoes in juice
• 4 cloves garlic roughly chopped
• 1 tbs tomato sauce
• 1 tbs chutney
• 1 tbs worcester sauce
• 1 tbs marmite or bovril (optional)
• olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• herbs & spices to taste – I used chicken spice, paprika, origanum, red chilli flakes, and a teaspoon of curry.

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius
2. Once the oven is at the correct heat, place the potatoes on the oven rack and let it bake for about 35 – 4o minutes or until soft if pricked with a fork
3. While the potatoes are baking, put a good glug of olive oil into a pan and fry the onion in it for about 5 minutes, then add the re-hydrated soy mince and fry for another 5 minutes or until the water evaporates
4. Add the tin of tomatoes and all of the spices, tomato sauce, chutney and worcester sauce.
5. Cook for another 40 minutes on low heat for the flavours to develop
6. Once done, remove from the stove and let it cool for about half an hour
7. Cut a slit into the potatoes, open them up a bit and top it with the soya mince
