Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Chop your potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized pieces

Add the chopped potatoes to a baking tray with a generous drizzle of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper

Give everything a good mix up and put the tray in the oven for an initial 25 min or until golden

Added chicken? Cook at 220°C / 200°C (fan) / gas 7 for 18-20 min

Step 1
2

Meanwhile, peel and finely slice your red onion[s]

Cut 2 thin slices per person from the tomato[es] and set them aside for serving

Finely dice the remaining tomato

Chop your basil coarsely, including the stalks

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Step 2
3

Add your flat white mushroom[s] to a separate baking tray with your dried oregano, a generous drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper

Put the tray in the oven for an initial 15-20 min or until softened

Once softened, add half of your grated Italian hard cheese

Return the tray to the oven for a further 4-5 min or until the cheese has melted – these are your cheesy flat white mushrooms

Step 3
4

While the mushrooms are cooking, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat

Once hot, add your walnuts and toast for 2-3 min or until lightly toasted

Once lightly toasted, add the chopped garlic and cook for a further 1-2 min or until fragrant

Once fragrant, transfer the toasted walnuts and garlic to a food processor, set aside and reserve the pan for later

Step 4
5

Return the reserved pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil

Once hot, add the sliced onion with your balsamic vinegar, 2 tsp [3 tsp] [4 tsp] sugar and a pinch of salt and cook for 6-7 min or until softened and caramelised

Meanwhile, add the chopped basil to the food processor with half of the grated Italian hard cheese, 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and blitz together – this is your walnut pesto

Step 5
6

Cut your ciabatta[s] in half

Once the potatoes are golden, remove the tray from the oven, push them to one side of the tray and add the ciabattas to the other side

Return the tray to the oven for a further 3 min or until the ciabattas are warmed through

Combine your mayo and half of the walnut pesto in a small bowl with a grind of pepper – this is your pesto mayo

Step 6
7

Wash your salad, then pat it dry with kitchen paper

Add the remaining walnut pesto to a large bowl with 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] water and mix to combine

Add the washed salad and diced tomato and give everything a good mix up – this is your tomato salad

Step 7
8

Fill the warmed ciabattas with a dollop of pesto mayo, the cheesy flat white mushroom, caramelised onion, tomato slices and a handful of tomato salad

Serve the crispy potatoes, remaining salad and pesto mayo to the side

Enjoy!
