Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 8, 220°C, fan 200°C. Pierce the potatoes with a sharp knife a few times, then microwave on high for 10 mins. Check to see if a knife easily pierces them (if not, cook for 3-5 mins and test again). Put on a baking sheet and drizzle with a little oil. Bake for 10 mins until golden.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the onion. Fry for 5-7 mins, until starting to soften. Add the garlic, peppers and paprika and fry for a further 5 mins.
- Add the beans to the pan and simmer for 5 mins. Garnish with basil and serve immediately with the jacket potatoes.
