Sweet Potato Jacket with Tuna and Crème Fraîche

I can't believe my Instagram page already has 100 followers after only 24hours! To mark this momentous occasion I am sharing with you one of my favourite healthy meals, perfect for both lunch and dinner and one which will requires only 5 ingredients to make! Sweet potato is one of the healthiest carbohydrates out there and that coupled with the protein and omega-3 from the tuna makes this an ideal post-workout meal which is sure to satisfy even the heartiest appetites with less than 400 calories per serving!
Ingredients:
- 1 Medium/Large Sweet Potato
- Half a 160gram Tin of Tuna Chunks (Drained)
- 2tablespoons of Crème Fraîche
- 1 Spring Onion (Scallion) (Finley Sliced)
- Chives for Garnishing (Chopped)

Method:

1) Set the oven to 180'C, and once at the right temperature - place your sweet potato on a baking tray in the oven for around 40 minutes, until crispy on the outside and soft in the middle (skewer the potato with a fork at the fattest point to chick if its soft)

Top Tip: To cut the time of this recipe in half, pierce the potato multiple times all over, then microwave for about 8-10 minutes until soft in the middle, then place in the preheated oven for a further 5-10 minutes until crisp on the outside.

2) Thats all the cooking done! Half your sweet potato, fill the middle with the Tuna and dollop the Crème Fraîche on top before sprinkling with the chopped Chives, Spring Onion and a good seasoning of salt and pepper! (I serve my potato on a bed of rocket to add some peppery-ness to the dish) 

I hope you enjoy this quick and easy meal as much as I do!
