Feta Potatoes + Garlic Quorn

POTATOES WITH FETA
Ingredients:
5 medium baking potatoes
10 pimento-stuffed olives, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup half and half
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt

Preperation:
Cook potatoes in boiling salted water for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and cool. Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Combine potatoes and next 6 ingredients; gently toss. Spoon into lightly greased 10x6x2 baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.


GARLIC QUORN
Ingredients:
1 box (4 peices) Quorn cutlets
4-6 Tablespoons butter
1 large clove garlic (minced or crushed)
handful chopped herbs (I usually use rosemary, but basil would also be great in this)
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Lemon rounds for garnish

Method:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat medium baking dish with spray oil. In medium bowl, mash butter with a spoon until smooth. Add garlic, herbs, and seasonings. Make several slashes on the top of each piece of Quorn and fill cuts with butter mixture. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve with lemon garnish.

NOTES:
Feta Potatoes are a staple at my parents' house, and are a wonderful accompaniment to most meals. If you eat meat, we often used to serve it with steak or other beef dishes, which it compliments nicely.

VERDICT:
As always, I quite enjoyed this comfort food and will certainly make it again. Perhaps Carrie is better equipped to answer this one.
