My husband is away, so I've been alone this week. In my world, it usually means I eat nothing but fast food, cause I really hate cooking only for myself... However, my stomach's finally decided to take a stand and refuse to eat more junk, so I was forced to cook lunch today. I decided on a rather easy and filling option of potatoes with cheese and bacon and a sweet apple and raisin sauce.
Ingredients:
5 medium-sized potatoes
150g smoked bacon
150g cheese
salt, pepper
For the sauce:
2 apples
50g raisins
1tbsp butter
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tsp sugar
1 cup apple juice
Peel the potatoes and slice them, but not all the way through, so that the slices are still held together at the bottom (around 5 slices). Fill each pocket with either a piece of bacon or a piece of cheese (edam for me, but you can use pretty much any other kind), and season with salt and pepper. Place in a paper lined tray and bake for about an hour on medium heat.
For the sauce, peel and core the apples, and puree them in a food processor. I left around a third just diced, to get some texture. Cook the apples and the raisins on hot butter. Add the lemon juice, sugar and apple juice, and cook for another fifteen minutes.

This looks awesome! I may have to give this a try!
Potatoes, cheese and bacon sound great and the apple sauce sound interesting. I will have to try it.
