Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into wedges. • Place wedges on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
• Meanwhile, grate carrot. Thinly slice red onion. Finely chop garlic and tomato. Drain corn kernels. Drain and rinse black beans. • In a small bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Scrunch half of the sliced onion in your hands, then add it to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover onion. Set aside.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook carrot and remaining onion until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add black beans and cook, stirring, until tender, 2 minutes. • SPICY! You may find the spice blend hot! Add less if you're sensitive to heat. Add tomato paste, garlic and Mexican Fiesta spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir through the water and the plant-based butter. Simmer until sauce is thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
TIP: Add another splash of water if the mixture seems dry.
• Drain pickled onion, reserving a splash of the pickling liquid. • In a medium bowl, combine corn, tomato, pickled onion, a drizzle of olive oil and the reserved pickling liquid. Toss to combine and season.
• Divide potato wedges between plates. • Top with black beans, bacon, corn and pickled onion salsa and plant-based mayonnaise. • Tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!
