Potato, mozzarella and tomato salad

Serves 2 35 min
This is a quick, easy side dish, and full of flavour. It's best eaten warm or at room temperature, rather than just out of the fridge. One very nice addition is to stir through a tablespoon of basil pesto instead of, or as well as, the fresh basil garnish.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed or finely chopped
  • 400g salad potatoes e.g. Charlotte, cleaned
  • 400ml veg stock
  • 125g mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces
  • 400g tomatoes, chopped, or halved if using cherry
  • handful fresh basil, chopped
  • 60g pine nuts, toasted
  • salt and pepper

Method

Prep time: 10 min
Cooking time: 25 min

  • Step 1

    Heat the oil in a large pan. Fry the garlic and potatoes for 2 minutes. Add the stock. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through.

  • Step 2

    Remove the potatoes from the stock and turn up the heat. Reduce the liquid slightly (you need about 2 tablespoons).

  • Step 3

    Add the potatoes back to the pan with the mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. Stir until the cheese has melted. Season and top with pine nuts to serve.
