Ingredients

  • 4 baking potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1 can of beans (cannellini, if possible)
  • 200g tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • 2 teaspoons tomato purée

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 200C (fan 180C, gas mark 6). Prick the potatoes, then bake towards the top of the oven for 1 hour, or until tender.

2

While the potatoes are cooking, mix together the cannellini beans, tuna, pepper, tomatoes, spring onions, vinegar and tomato purée. Season with black pepper. Information: For a vegetarian option, use 200g tofu instead of the tuna.

3

Split the baked potatoes open and fill them with the salsa mixture. Serve at once. Information: Remember to eat the skin of the potato, as it's high in fibre.
