  • 4 large russet or other baking potatoes, well scrubbed
  • 4 cup (1 L) finely chopped rapini (broccoli rabe)
  • 1 cup (250 mL) canned navy or white kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) warm milk
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) golden raisins
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) toasted pine nuts
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) grated Parmesan cheese

 Method

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Microwave on high for 8 to 10 minutes or until fork tender. Meanwhile, blanch rapini in a saucepan of boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and spread on paper towel to dry.
  • Combine beans, milk, salt, pepper and garlic in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until mixture is smooth. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop the flesh into the food processor (keeping the skins intact) and add butter; pulse just until smooth and well combined. Gently stir in rapini, pine nuts and raisins.
  • Divide potato mixture evenly between potato shells and top each filled potato with an equal amount of Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until heated through.
