We have a lot of potatoes at the moment, so I’m digging around in the recipe books for new things to do. This is a recipe from ‘Nightingales and Roses’ by Maryam Sinaiee. This is quite filling, and is good cold the next day as well.
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 tbsp oil
- 2 potatoes, peeled and diced (around 1 cm cubes)
- 3 packs of green beans (around 600g)
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- a large pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 6 large eggs, lightly beaten.
METHOD:
- Heat about 3-4 tbsp oil in a deep frying pan and cook the potato cubes for around 10 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oil and put in a bowl lined with kitchen paper.
- Fry the beans and carrots in the same oil for around 10 minutes, and then add them to the potatoes.
- Set the oven to 200C. Mix the salt, flour, baking powder and spices.
- Beat the eggs, add the vegetables and flour/spice mix and stir to combine.
- My frying pan has an oven-safe handle so it is perfect. Otherwise use a shallow casserole dish. Put 2 tbsp oil in the pan and heat it in the oven for four minutes so it is hot. Pour in the mixture, and bake for 30 minutes, so the top is golden.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool a little, and cut into wedges.
