Instructions

1. 1.Puree: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the potatoes on a low heat for approx. 20 minutes.
2. 2.Once cooked, drain and let cool, then peel the potatoes. Then add them back to the empty pot and use a fork or potato masher to turn into a puree. Add oil, salt, pepper and lime juice to taste.
3. 3.Now, put a little olive oil into a skillet and put on the stove. Once hot, add the yellow pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, let cool and then peel the pepper. Then add to a small bowl with lime juice and a little chilli powder. Blend together with a fork until nicely smooth.
4. 4.Vegan mayonnaise: Put the relevant ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. Then add the yogurt and blend a little until you get a consistency of smooth creamed cheese.
5. 5.For the filling: wash and slice the tomato, chop the onion, chop the olives and then add all to the vegan mayonnaise.
6. 6.Presenting the causa: Use a metal cookie cutter ring to build your dish. Start with a base of potato, half the filling, a second potato layer, remaining filling and a final layer of the yellow bell pepper. (Feel free to experiment with the layers – a layer of avocado also works well!)
7. 7.Garnish with a tomato slice, black sesame seeds and a walnut puree (very optional!).
8. 8.Salad: Wash the lettuce. Peel and cut the carrot into thin batons. For ease, I used pre-cooked beetroot. Add the beetroot to a blender with the orange juice, zest of a lime, peeled almonds, mint, salt and olive oil until smooth.
9. 9.Serve the beetroot dressing on the salad alongside your causa limena!
