Potato Chop and Bake

I love a meal that is easy to prepare. 
This requires a bit of chopping but no 'cooking' other than putting it in the oven.
This can be prepared in advance and kept in the fridge til its time to bake.
So tasty for something so easy :-)
 
POTATO CHOP AND BAKE
Serves 4
5 medium potatoes
1 can chickpeas
1 leek
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup mushrooms
1/3 cup nutritional yeast 
2 garlic cloves
2 cups plant milk
pepper

Chop the potatoes into 2cm cubes. Spread over the base of a large baking dish.
Drain the chickpeas and pour them over the potato cubes, followed by the chopped leek, chopped mushrooms and frozen peas.
 
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast evenly over the vegetables.
Combine the cloves (crushed) in a jar with the milk and pepper (as much as desired). Mix together.
Pour the milk mixture over the vegetables and nutritional yeast.
Cover with foil and place in a preheated 200C oven and bake for 50-60 minutes until potatoes are soft and milk is absorbed.
Serve


Question of the day:
Do you prefer meals that require lots of chopping, or lots of hands-on type cooking?

  1. I definitely like meals that can be prepared ahead of time and then just put into the oven. That's especially so if I am making a meal for more than just my husband and I! This looks like it would fit the requirement easily :)
