Don't worry if you don't have all the ingredients – you can just stick to the jacket with tuna and beans for a simple dinner fave.
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan oven 180°C/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.

Split the baked potatoes open and fill them with the salsa mixture. Serve at once.
