Bell Pepper, Tomato, Potato, Lentil and Cheese tray bake

This vegetarian dish is so good that even meat lovers will find it hard to realize the absence of meat. Very healthy and simply delicious. I'm not vegetarian, but I adore it anyway. People who are vegetarian though, often complain that there is little variety if one only has vegetables to work with, and that they eat repetitively but there's a whole world of delicious recipes out there if you're willing to experience with new ingredients.

Garlic Butter Potatoes

Preparation time: 20 min

Cooking time: 15-20 min

One of the foods with the most possible ways to cook are potatoes. Basically good with everything. I think, there are many good ways for preparing them, but my personal favourite is an oven buttersoak. It is the most tasty, and the least time consuming option, and one can also cook them in the oven along with other dishes, which often makes things quicker. Anyway, what you will need is:

INGREDIENTS:

- Half a pat of Butter (100g)

- 4 Big Potatoes (500g)

- 3-4 Garlic Cloves

-5g Salt

-Some Black Pepper

- A few Parsley Leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

- Set your oven to 160 Celsius

- Place the butter in an oven dish, in the preping oven

- Squeeze the garlic with a garlic squeezer, and mix it in with the butter and salt

- Dice the potatoes into medium pieces, put them in the dish, make sure to cover them all in the melted butter

- Cook for 15-20 min

-Decorate with the parsley, and add salt and pepper to taste

- Good eaten alone and with a variety of other dishes

The thing I like most about this dish is the incredible softness and mildness of the potatoes and the aromatic garlic butter sauce. Mmm...

Love Cooking

Hi!

I love cooking, whether it's just for myself, friends or family. I love testing new recipes (especially from bbc good food) and sometimes creating my own. But most of all I love the smell of cooking. Chocolate chip cookies. Lamb Kleftiko. Even just onions slowly frying on olive oil. The thrill of making something special all by oneself.

The first recipe I'm going to share with you is my recipe for life and, as it happens, also my life philosophy: try to find joy in the littlest things. Make small moments count. Because to be truthful those are the only ones we really have.
