Ingredients

• large baking potatoes - 2
• olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• salt - 1 teaspoon
• pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• red bell pepper - 1/2, diced
• green bell pepper - 1/2, diced
• mushrooms - 100 grams, sliced
• kalamata olives - 50 grams, pitted and chopped
• cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• hummus - 4 tablespoons
• feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Wash the baking potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a towel. Prick the skin of each potato several times with a fork.
3. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender.
4. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the toppings. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red and green bell peppers along with the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
5. In a bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with chopped kalamata olives, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh parsley. Mix well and set aside.
6. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut each potato lengthwise down the center and gently squeeze the ends to open them up.
7. Fluff the inside of the potatoes with a fork, then spoon in 2 tablespoons of hummus into each potato.
8. Top each potato with the vegetable mixture and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
9. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
