Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

1 cup onion; minced
1 cup carrots; peeled and diced
1/2 cup celery; diced
3 garlic cloves
3 cup ; water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup red wine
2 tablespoon dry red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary; chopped or
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/3 cup ; cold water
2 tablespoon arrowroot or cornstarch

Saute onion, carrots, celery & garlic in 2 tsp. water for 5 min. Place in a heavy 3 quart pot along with remaining ingredients except 1/3 cup water & arrowroot. Bring to a boil, cover partially, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender. Whisk together cold water & arrowroot until smooth & fully dissolved. Slowly pour into simmering sauce, stirring constantly. Lower heat & continue stirring as sauce thickens and becomes shiny, about 5 minutes. If necessary, add more dissolved arrowroot or cornstarch, a teaspoon at a time, until sauce reaches desired consistency. Variations: Substitute another cup of wine for one of the cups of water. OR Add 1 cup of sliced sauteed mushrooms to the sauce just before the arrowroot or cornstarch. "Vegetarian Times", January 1993 From the MM database of Judi M.
