Broccoli and Pork Stuffed Potatoes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. 2

   Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pierce them several times with a fork. Place them on a baking tray and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.

3. 3

   While the potatoes are baking, chop the broccoli into small florets. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the broccoli for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.

4. 4

   Finely chop the onion and garlic. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon (14g) of butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

5. 5

   Add the ground pork to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.

6. 6

   Add the blanched broccoli to the pork mixture and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

7. 7

   When the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin shell. Place the scooped potato flesh in a bowl.

8. 8

   Mash the potato flesh with the remaining 1 tablespoon (14g) of butter. Add the pork and broccoli mixture, and half of the crumbled toasted whole wheat bread. Mix well and adjust seasoning if needed.

9. 9

   Spoon the filling back into the potato shells. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled bread on top for a crunchy topping.

10. 10

    Place the stuffed potatoes back on the baking tray and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the tops are golden and crispy.
