Vegan İskenderun Kumpir is a delicious twist on the classic Turkish stuffed potato, featuring a rich blend of plant-based seafood alternatives and fresh vegetables. This hearty dish is perfect for seafood lovers looking for a vegan option that bursts with flavor and texture.

Ingredients

• Large baking potatoes - 2
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Vegan shrimp (or other seafood alternative) - 200 grams
• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Zucchini - 1, diced
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and prick them with a fork several times. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45 minutes, or until tender.
3. While the potatoes are baking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender.
5. Stir in the vegan shrimp and cherry tomatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes until heated through. Season with lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
6. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently fluff the insides with a fork.
7. Fill each potato with the vegetable and vegan shrimp mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
