Satay Jacket Potato: A Vegan Classic made intresting

A jacket potato is one of those menu staples that never goes out of fashion, but the filling is where it earns its keep. This version skips the usual cheese and beans in favour of roasted chickpeas and vegetables tossed through a rich, nutty satay sauce, giving you a filling that's hearty, plant-based, and a genuine talking point rather than an afterthought. This recipe leans on Karimix Satay Sauce Vegan to bring it all together, and the result is a warming, spoonable jacket potato filling with proper depth of flavour.

Here's how we put it together, along with the products we used from our range.

Why This Combination Works

Roasting the chickpeas and vegetables first is what makes this filling work, it caramelises the edges and gives the mix some bite instead of turning everything soft and one note. Karimix Satay Sauce Vegan brings the richness a jacket potato filling needs, savoury peanut, a little sweetness, and enough body to coat every piece without pooling at the bottom of the plate. Spooned over a properly baked jacket potato with a crisp skin and fluffy centre, it turns a simple baked potato into a full, satisfying plant-based main.

What You'll Need

Serves 4 | Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 60-70 mins

• 4 Jacket Potatoes Large, baked until crisp-skinned and fluffy inside Brayne & Price #17600 — Potato Chip & Coated Vegetable range
• 400g Falafel Chick Pea and Roast Peppers, roughly chopped and roasted Brayne & Price #63260 — Miscellaneous range
• Karimix Satay Sauce Vegan (2.5 Ltr), warmed Brayne & Price #90160 — Mayonnaise & Sauce range
• 1 red pepper, sliced
• 1 courgette, diced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil, for roasting
• Fresh coriander, roughly chopped, to finish
• Crushed peanuts, to finish (optional)

Method

1. Bake the potatoes. Bake the Jacket Potatoes Large at 200°C for 60-70 minutes, or until the skins are crisp and the centres are fluffy.

2. Roast the chickpeas and vegetables. Toss the roughly chopped Falafel Chick Pea and Roast Peppers with the sliced red pepper, courgette, and red onion in a little oil. Spread on a tray and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning once, until caramelised at the edges.

3. Warm the sauce. While the vegetables roast, gently warm the Karimix Satay Sauce Vegan in a small pan.

4. Combine. Once roasted, tip the chickpea and vegetable mix into the warm satay sauce and toss thoroughly so everything is well coated.

5. Fill and finish. Split the baked jacket potatoes down the centre, spoon over the satay chickpea and vegetable mix generously, and finish with chopped coriander and crushed peanuts.

6. Serve immediately. Best served hot, while the potato skin is still crisp and the filling is warm and glossy.

A Few Notes From the Kitchen

Roast, don't steam, spreading the mix in a single layer on the tray is what gives it caramelisation rather than a soft, sauce-only filling. This works equally well as a loaded potato bar option for buffets, letting guests spoon on their own satay mix and toppings. For a heartier version, add roasted sweet potato chunks alongside the chickpeas.
