Indulge in zesty lemon herb tuna potatoes - a fiber-rich, flavorful dish with low saturated fat.
Ingredients:
  • 8 small sebago potatoes, scrubbed
  • 18.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 31.50 gm lemon juice
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tsp drained baby capers
  • 62.50 ml finely chopped gherkins
  • 2 x 185g cans tuna in oil, drained, flaked
  • 40.00 ml roughly chopped fresh dill
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped fresh chives
  • 62.50 ml small fresh basil leaves
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 220C/200C fan-forced and grease a baking tray.
  • Dry the potatoes with paper towel and prick them all over with a fork. Arrange them on the edge of a microwave turntable and microwave on HIGH for 4 minutes or until slightly tender. Move the potatoes to a baking tray, drizzle with oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until they are golden and fully tender. Let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes until they are cool to the touch.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together lemon rind, lemon juice, onion, capers, gherkin, tuna, dill, and half of the chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • With a small knife, score a cross on the top of each potato, then gently press the base to open. Plate the potatoes and generously spoon over the tuna mixture. Finish by garnishing with basil and the rest of the chives before serving.
