Ingredients
- 1 medium baking potato
- ½ leek
- (optional) black pepper
- 15g/½oz reduced-fat cheddar
- 15g/½oz cooked bacon
- 1 eating apple
- 1 x 80g/2¾oz can tuna (in spring water)
- ½ x 198g/7oz can sweetcorn
- 1 tbsp reduced-fat mayonnaise
- (optional) black pepper
- 50g/1¾oz frozen peas
- 1 x 80g/2¾oz can skinless and boneless salmon
- 1 tbsp salad cream
- 5 button mushrooms
- (optional) black pepper
- 140g/5oz reduced-fat cream cheese
- 1 tsp tomato purée
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash the potato and prick with a sharp knife several times on all sides. Dry the potato well with kitchen paper and place on a microwave-safe plate. Place in the microwave and cook on full power for 4 minutes.
- Remove the plate using oven gloves and turn the potato over. Dry the potato and the plate and put back into the microwave. Heat on full power for a further 4 minutes.
- Remove the plate and leave the potato to stand for 1 minute, as it will continue to cook. Check that the potato is soft by pushing a sharp knife into the centre. Return to the microwave for another 30 seconds if it is still hard in any part.
- To make the leek, apple, cheese and bacon filling, place the leek in a small bowl and grind over some black pepper. Cover with cling film, leaving a small area open, and microwave on full power for two minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
- To make the tuna and sweetcorn filling, mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
- To make the salmon and pea filling, put the peas into a mixing bowl and pour over boiling water. Leave for five minutes until they float. Drain and return the peas to the dry bowl. Stir in the salmon and mayonnaise.
- Split the jacket potato in half, roughly mash the middle with a fork, and spoon over your topping.
