Ingredients

  • 750g baby potatoes
  • 100g thick plain yoghurt
  • 200g extra-firm tofu
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 30g parsley, finely chopped
  • 30g coriander, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • Juice of 1 lime

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and boil until potatoes are easily pierced. Drain.
  3. Spread the potatoes out on a baking tray. Squash each potato with the bottom of a glass, then drizzle with oil and season with salt.
  4. Roast for 45-55 minutes, turning halfway through, until darkly golden and crisp.
  5. Meanwhile place onion, garlic and chillies in blend, blend until finely chopped. Add coriander, parsley and oregano and blend.
  6. Add red wine vinegar, lime juice, salt, pepper and two tablespoons of olive oil and pulse until just combined.
  7. Combine the yoghurt, tofu, lemon juice and a good pinch of salt and black pepper in a food processor.
  8. Blend until smooth and creamy, then taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
  9. Combine the warm crispy potatoes and a good few spoonfuls of chimichurri in a mixing bowl and stir gently to coat.
  10. Spread the yoghurt sauce over the base of a serving plate. Add potatoes on top and finish with black pepper.
