Ingredients -
4 medium potatoes
2 tablespoons tomato puree
1 tablespoon grated mozzarella
¼ onion, grated
½ teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon curry powder
Pinch of salt
Preparation:
Wash the potatoes and pierce the skins a few times with a knife. Place them on paper towels and microwave for 10 minutes on high power or until they are soft.
Preheat the grill to medium.
Cut eight squares of 12 inches each from heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Slice each potato in half and scoop out some of the flesh to make a narrow boat shape.
Keep the scooped out flesh!
Put one potato half on each foil square. Combine the tomato puree, oregano, grated cheese, and grated onion in one bowl and the lemon juice, sour cream, curry powder and salt in another to make the fillings.
Divide the reserved potato mixture between the two fillings and mash everything together well.
Place the tomato mixture in 4 of the potato halves and the curry filling in the other 4 halves.
Bring up the top and bottom edges of the foil to stop the filling falling out but leaving a bit of space for steam to escape during cooking.
Grill for 20 minutes over indirect heat or until everything is, hot.
Serve immediately.
