    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Preheat oven to 180ºC. Wash and slice potatoes (do not peel). Cover and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes on high.

    2 In a soup pot, fry onion and garlic in oil for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes (with the liquid) and bring to the boil. Turn off the heat.

    3 Stir in chunks of cream cheese until melted. Break up tuna with a fork and add to pot. Drain and add potatoes. Add evaporated milk and courgettes. Stir.

    4 Pour into a non-stick oven dish. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake for 25 minutes.

    Variations

    • Instead of, or with the courgettes, use frozen peas, corn, broccoli, or 1 cup of your favourite veges.
    • If you don't like tuna, leave it out, or use canned (or cooked) salmon or chicken instead.

    HFG tip

    Don’t cry when you chop the onion! Just wear swimming goggles, or breathe through your mouth, or refrigerate the onion for half an hour before use.
