Ingredients
4 Large baking potatoes
OR
4 Large sweet potatoes (yams)
Black beans and tomatoes topping:
15 Ounce Can Black beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tomatoes, chopped
1 Tsp Cumin
1 Tsp Ground coriander
1 Tsp Soy sauce
Curried garbanzos topping:
15 Ounce Can Garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 Cup Vegetable broth
3 Tbsp Lemon juice
2 Cloves Garlic
2 Tsp Curry powder
1/2 Tsp Cumin seed
Directions
1 Prick potatoes all over with a fork. Place the white potatoes directly on the oven racks, place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Bake until tender when pierced or squeezed.
2 Meanwhile prepare the topping for your potatoes.
3 Black beans and tomatoes topping: Place in a saucepan and heat through. Mash slightly with bean masher, if desired. Serve over baked potatoes or yams garnished with tofu sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro (optional).
4 Curried garbanzos topping: Place all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. Place in a saucepan and heat through. Serve over baked potatoes or yams garnished with chopped green onions.
5 Leftover bean dishes, such as soups or stews, make wonderful toppings for baked potatoes. Try Chunky Chili or Southwestern White Beans (recipes in Soups and Entrees).
6 Mushroom toppings are also a good choice for both kinds of potatoes. See the recipes for Wicked Mushrooms in Entrees and Mushrooms McDougall in Dressings & Sauces at
