Lemon “Honey” Mustard Quick Bowl

 Hello lovelies! It has gotten HOT here. Like Wicked Witch of the West hot. Life without air conditioning is no joke. I want to get in and out of the kitchen as fast as I can.

One of our successful formulas for a meal includes potatoes boiled in strong vegetable stock, beans, whatever veg we have in the cupboard (usually onion, red pepper, carrots) and kale covered in a dressing or sauce. There are endless variations on this and they come together quickly.

I saw a friend had made a “honey” mustard dressing over crispy potatoes in her air fryer. We don’t have an air fryer and damned if I am turning my oven on for ANYBODY even though I know how to make crispy potatoes in there. Nope. Na-uh. No way. Too hot.

But I did think I could do a “honey” mustard sauce over our standard potatoes/veg/beans/kale combo.

This was delicious and we would definitely eat it again.


Lemon “Honey” Mustard Quick Bowl

400g new potatoes, diced

Vegetable stock to cook the potatoes in

1 onion, sliced into rainbows

garlic

¼ of a red pepper

Half a carrot, cut into matchsticks

Tin of beans, drained and rinsed (chickpeas would be great. I used borlotti as that is what I had. )

100g kale –several handfuls

Sauce:

Juice of one lemon

2 TB wholegrain mustard

1-2 TB liquid sweetener (agave, maple syrup, golden syrup)

Salt and pepper to taste

 1. Cover your potatoes with cold water and a stock cube and bring to the boil. Boil until able to be easily pierced by a fork. Drain reserving about ¼ cup.

2. Meanwhile cook your onion in a splash of vegetable stock from the potatoes. When softened, add the garlic, pepper, carrots and let them cook down.

3. While the veg cooks, mix up the sauce in a little bowl and set aside.

4. When you drain the potatoes, add in the kale and the beans to the veg mixture and cook with the ¼ cup of stock you reserved when you drained the potatoes. When the kale is bright green and reduced, add in the potatoes and the sauce and stir to coat. Taste and see if it needs more lemon.

5. Serve in a bowl. Bonus points if you can make your carrots look like the mark of Zorro.
