Ingredients
Scale
For the rice
- 1 cup white rice
- 1 cup boiled kidney beans
- 2 chicken sausages, sliced
- 2 tablespoons canned tomatoes
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon ginger, chopped
- 1 tablespoon onions, chopped
- ½ cup mixed peppers, chopped
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder

For the potato cups
- 1 potato, boiled
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 egg
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce them with a fork and bake for 45 minutes or until tender.
- Once baked, let the potatoes cool slightly, then cut them in half and scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin shell. Mash the scooped-out potato with milk, butter, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Shape the mashed potato into cups on a baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown.
- For the rice, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions, ginger, and garlic, and sauté until golden brown.
- Add the rice and stir until all grains are coated with oil. Add the sliced sausages, canned tomatoes, boiled kidney beans, and 1/2 cup of water. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the mixture is well combined.
- Spoon the bean and sausage rice into the potato cups and serve warm.
