  • Serves: 2
  • Prep time: 15 mins
  • Cook time: 1 hour 30 mins
  • Total time: 1 hour 45 mins

Ingredients

For the jacket potatoes:

  • 2 baking potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • 2 tbsp Nush Chive Almond Spread
  • 40g grated vegan cheese
  • Splash of plant-based drink (to loosen)

Tempeh 'bacon' pieces

  • 100g tempeh, diced into small cubes
  • 60ml soy sauce
  • 30ml maple syrup
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1 tbsp oil (for frying)

To serve

  • Extra Nush Chive Spread
  • Fresh chives, chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan). Prick each potato with a fork, rub with olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Bake directly on the oven shelf for 1 hour until crisp on the outside and fluffy inside.

Once baked, slice down the center of each potato (without cutting fully in half). Scoop the insides into a bowl, keeping the skins intact. Mash the potato with Nush Chive Spread, grated vegan cheese, and a splash of plant-based drink until smooth and creamy.

Spoon the creamy mash back into the potato skins and place on a tray. Return to the oven for 25–30 minutes until golden and heated through.

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, maple syrup, paprika, and tomato purée. Add diced tempeh and toss to coat. Fry in a pan with a little oil over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until crispy, or air fry at 200°C for 10 minutes.

Top the hot stuffed potatoes with an extra dollop of Nush Chive Spread, crispy tempeh bacon pieces, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Serve immediately and enjoy the ultimate comfort food.
