Recipe No.10 – Potato Wedges with Tuna.

 

Sometimes on a Saturday all you want is a quick snack that you can eat on your lap in front of the television. When that Saturday includes a Test match that England are winning and a Formula One Grand prix then there is even more of a reason. Today was one of those days.

This meal as well as being quick, is easy to cook and draws on ingredients that you would normally have in the cupboard. It’s once again from “Good Food – 101 Low-Fat Feasts” and although under the section ‘Starters and Light Meals’ is perfectly adequate for a lunch time meal.

 

Ingredients

• 3 large Baking Potatoes.
• 3 Tablespoons Olive oil.
• 1 Leek – Sliced.
• 200g tin tuna[in brine] – drained
• 2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes with chilli. [I actually used chopped tomatoes with peppers and chilli for that extra bite.]

 

 

1. Wash the potatoes and cut into wedges place in a baking tray and drizzle over two tablespoons of oil. Make sure that all the potatoes are covered with the oil and place in a pre-heated oven [Gas Mark 7/ 220C] for around 30 minutes.
2. Heat the remainder of the oil in a pan and fry the leek until soft.
3. Pour in the tuna and tomatoes and mix well, breaking up the tuna.
4. Cook until heated through and then add to the cooked potatoes gently stirring to mix all the components. Serve immediately.

 

 

For  such an easy recipe this dish was very tasty indeed and on this typical British Bank Holiday weekend was just what was required to WARM you up!!!

I shall have it again on Sunday while watching the Belgium Grand Prix.
