Ingredients:

  • 4 medium potatoes (250 g each)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • Half an onion (150 g)
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • 2 cups wild mushrooms (250 g)
  • 2 tbsp butter (30 g)
  • 3 tbsp dry white wine (45 g)
  • 2 heads of lettuce (300-350 g each)
  • 1 container of plain yogurt (200 g)
  • 4 medium tomatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Rinse the potatoes and tomatoes. Slice the tomatoes. Place the potatoes in a pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes. Take the potatoes out and cut a cross on the top of each one. Coat with olive oil. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the potatoes and tomatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
  2. Mince the garlic and slice the onion. Fry the onion with the melted butter. Add the thyme, garlic, and mushrooms, and stir-fry on high heat for 5 minutes. Add ½ tsp salt and black pepper, and top with the white wine. Stir-fry until the sauce thickens.
  3. Sprinkle salt on the baked potatoes; place in a serving dish with the tomato slices and lettuce. Top each baked potato with the mushroom mixture and 2-3 tbsp of natural yogurt.
