A Fridge-Raid Meal/BBB15

March 5, 2015 Leave a Comment

 

spring green rosti

 

One of my most popular recipe posts was for a mid-week, low-cost, vegetarian meal – an onion and potato tortilla, so it’s time for another!  This one, made from a fridge raid that produced some leftover spring greens, 3 red-skinned potatoes and a pack of cherry vine tomatoes made a wonderful and tasty Swiss-style rosti. It makes a terrific side dish to chicken but also great lunch/brunch dish on its own if topped with a poached or dry-fried egg for some added protein. It makes a worthy appearance as a Bariatric Budget Buster (BBB) recipe. What’s more it can be on the table in next to no time!

British Onion Tortilla

 

SPRING GREEN ROSTI

Ingredients

METRIC/US

200 g/7 oz spring greens, shredded or sliced

400 g/14 oz cherry vine tomatoes

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

low-fat olive oil spray or mist

3 medium red-skinned potatoes (or other type), about 500 g/1 lb, coarsely grated

4 spring onions/scallions, thinly sliced

1 tsp cumin seeds

2 tbsp chopped fresh basil or parsley

salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

METHOD

1.  Preheat the oven to 200 C/400 F/gas mark 6. Cook the spring greens in a pan of boiling water for 3-4 minutes until tender then drain well.

2.  Meanwhile, place the tomatoes on a baking tray, scatter with the garlic and spritz generously with the olive oil spray or mist and roast for 15-20 minutes until softened but still holding their shape.

3.  Mix the cooked greens with the potato, spring onions/scallions, cumin seeds, herbs and salt and pepper to taste.

4.  Generously spritz/8-inch non-stick frying or saute pan with low-fat spray or mist. Heat then add the cabbage mixture, pressing it down with a fish slice or spatula. Cook the cabbage rosti mixture gently for 10-15 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. To turn the rosti, invert onto a large plate then back into the pan to cook the other side.

5.  Top the cooked rosti with the roasted tomatoes. Cut into wedges to serve.
