It's Vegan Monday in our household, and after not thinking about dinner all day I came up with Patatas Bravas at the last minute. It is a tapas which I kind of stretched into an evening meal. The kids verdict is that it would be miles better with pasta rather than roast potatoes!
Serves 5 as a meal
1.5kg new or roasting potatoes
2 tsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced
2 tsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, cut into slivers
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 carton passata
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 pinch of hot chilli flakes
1 pinch of sugar
Preheat the oven and a shallow baking dish with 1 tbsp olive oil to 200C. Quarter or half small new potatoes depending on size or cut roasting potatoes into wedges. Toss in another tablespoon of olive oil and spread out in a single layer on the baking tray once it has reached temperature. Season with pepper and salt and bake for 40-50 minutes until crisp and golden.
Whilst the potatoes are roasting, gently fry the onion in 2 tbsp of olive oil for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the onion and the tomato paste and fry for a minute more before adding the passata, paprika, chilli, and sugar. Cover and bring to the boil, then remove the lid and simmer for 10 minutes until thick and pulpy.
When the potatoes are done, divide into bowls and serve with the tomato sauce spooned over.
