1
Place the potato or potatoes in one bowl.
2
In the other bowl put the olive oil, spice and onion.
3
Microwave together on highest setting for about 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave, until the onion is soft but still glassy.
4
Poke some holes in the potato with a fork.
5
To the onions add butter, mushrooms, green vegetables, tomatoes and the rest of the seasoning.
6
Microwave the two bowls on high for a further 4 to 6 minutes (know how powerful your microwave is), stopping once or twice to stir the sauce and poke the potato.
7
Add cheese to the veggie bowl, stir well.
8
Evaluate the potato using fork, and cook both bowls further for as long as necessary to ensure potato is cooked through beautifully until soft and fluffy, and that the veggie/cheese topping is a juicy and aromatic sauce.
