Ingredients
  

  • 2 Russet Potatoes medium size
  • a drizzle Olive Oil
  • ½ cup Yellow Onion diced
  • 6 cloves Garlic minced
  • ½ cup Tomato Sauce
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 2 tsp Vegan Worcestershire Sauce
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 cup White Beans
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped
  • 4 tbsp Vegan Coleslaw
  • 2 scoops Vegan Sour Cream
  • Vegan Butter optional

Garnish

  • Leek diced

Instructions
 

  • Wash potatoes. Using a fork, poke several holes in them so they do not explode while baking. Then slice them slightly in a cross shape; this will make the potatoes easier to open and add fillings after baking. Drizzle olive oil on potatoes. Heat the oven to 400 degrees and bake potatoes for 2 hours, as we want a crispy skin on the outside and buttery fluffiness inside.
  • In the meantime, sauté onion in a skittle for 5 minutes on medium heat or until golden brown. Add a tablespoon of oil while sauteing onion, or simply sprinkle some water if the onion is sticking to the pan. Add garlic and sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add tomato sauce, cumin powder, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix well together. Cover and let simmer for 5 minutes or until tomato sauce doesn’t taste raw. Stir occasionally.
  • Add white beans and fresh parsley. Mix well. Cover and let simmer for another 5 minutes then remove from heat.
  • As soon as the potatoes come out of the oven, immediately make a deeper cut on the previous cross shape cut. Open them with a fork and slightly mash the insides, then drizzle olive oil or add vegan butter and allow it to melt. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top.
  • Next add the fillings. Add the white beans first, then the vegan coleslaw. Top with a scoop of vegan sour cream and finally add garnishes.

Notes

*Note: some new ovens have very high intense heat. Check these potatoes after 1½ hours and continue to keep an eye on them so they do not burn.
