Braised potatoes with peas

This is a really quick and easy side dish. I found the recipe in one of Bill Grangers books and adapted it to make it slimming world friendly. I boiled the potatoes to make this but would be a great way to use up leftover cooked potatoes or even tinned potatoes if you were desperate and pushed for time.

Cooking the vegetables in stock and adding the onion gives it a really savoury flavour . It's interesting that when I made this was thinking sometimes you just fancy a different side dish from the usual rice, potatoes, pasta and hopefully this fits the bill.

Braised potatoes and peas

• 8 cooked new potatoes (cut into thick slices)
• 1/2 pint chicken or vegetable stock (from a cube is fine)
• 4oz frozen peas
• 1 onion (sliced) 
• salt and pepper
• low calorie spray oil 

Spray a large frying pan with spray oil and fry the onion until softened , Add the stock and the frozen peas and cook on a medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the sliced potatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes. Try not to move the potatoes around too much or they will break up.

If there is still a lot of liquid left simmer for a bit longer until almost all the liquid has absorbed, Season with pepper you probably don't need salt as you have the stock which is usually well seasoned.
