Baked Potato stuff

I made a topping for baked potatoes yesterday, which was similar, but not as good, as this one I did a while ago... Doh!

1 tin chopped tomatoes
1/2 big onion (or 1 smaller onion. What do you have?)
1/2 jar of beans (I like kidney beans, but any will do)
1/2 aubergine, diced
1 chopped stick of celery (no one in Spain has EVER tried celery. Fact.)
salt, pepper, mixed herbs
1 or 2 crushed dried chillis, depending on how much fuerza you have.

Feta cheese

2 potatoes (biggish ones)

Sooo, dead simple again: Use a frying pan. Chop onion and celery, fry in a little olive oil on a low/medium heat until the celery starts to soften. Takes longer than I have patience for.
Add the aubergine and fry for another couple of minutes, then I usually put in the salt/pepper etc, and the crushed chilli. Followed by the tomatoes and beans.
Leave to simmer, for about 10-15 minutes is fine.

Potatoes: In this kitchen sin el horno, I have a good excuse to cheat and use the microwave, which is good! Full power, 4 minutes for every potato. So that was 8 minutes for me.

Then cut open the very hot potatoes, put on plate, add mixture from frying pan, and put some crumbled feta on top (better than it sounds I promise).

the end.

If you'd like to know what it looks like; use your imagination. And listen to our song:
