Recipe Instructions

1. Wash and prick the potatoes. Place in a roasting tin with 1 tbsp oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Cook at 200C/400F/Gas 6 for 45min-1hr or until soft.

2. Meanwhile, finely chop the shallots. Peel, deseed and roughly chop the tomatoes.

3. Heat the remaining oil in a saucepan, add the shallots and cook until soft. Crush the garlic and add to the pan with the paprika; cook for 30 secs. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 min. Add the tomatoes, season and bubble for 15-20 minutes or until the mixture is thick and pulpy.

4. Crumble the goat's cheese, mix with the creme fraeche and chopped chives and season with pepper. Cut the potatoes with a cross, about three-quarters of the way through, then squeeze to open further. Mix the prawns into the tomato mixture, then put a spoonful into each potato.

5. Place the filled potatoes in an ovenproof dish, spoon goat's cheese mixture over the top, then cook at 220C/425F/Gas 7 for 15-20 minutes or until hot to the center. Serve immediately, garnished with flat-leafed parsley.

NOTES : Although this dish takes a little while to cook in the oven, it's so quick and easy to prepare that it makes an ideal supper dish.
