A tasty, quick ands easy supper. If you can, use tinned Spanish tuna, but any tinned tuna in olive oil will work. The recipe is from ” Lobster and Chips ” by Trish Hilferty- one of my favourite books on fish cookery over many years. Make sure you have some tomato ketchup to offer alongside.
I found this recipe for Tuna in ” Lobster & Chips” by Trish Hilferty, one of my go to fish cookbooks. She inherited it from Tom Norrington Davis and they both worked at the renowned Eagle in London. You need to use really fesh tuna and waxy potatoes such as Charlotte. The tuna could be replaced with swordfish or other robust meaty fish. The tuna will be medium rare which is the best way to eat it, but if you prefer cook it for a little longer.
An easy storecupboard version of a classic thai dish from ” Dominique’s Kitchen ” by Dominique Woolf. The traditional recipe would use white fish fillets. Her Cucumber relish can be served alongside if you like. The recipe will make 8-10 fishcakes.
Many Mediterranean countries have a version of this salad which is ideal for the hot summer months. This version, known as Tonno e Fagioli, is from Sardinia . I found it in ” Gino’s Italian Escapes” by Gino D’Acampo. Serve with crusty bread.
These smoky and spicy fritters are from ” Cook as You Are ” by Ruby Tandoh. They make an easy lunch or breakfast dish and are loosely based on Jamaican salt cod fitters. Serve with a dressed green salad.
Tuna is one of my favourite fish and I am always pleased to find new ways of cooking it . Here’s a recipe from ” Cook Simple ” by Diana Henry. If you like you can make the sauce for this ahead of time and then just cook the tuna at the last minute.
A recipe from Diana Henry based on the classic Italian Tuna and Bean Salad. For the best results use the best quality tuna and anchovies, but for a cheap and cheerful lunch supermarket tinned tuna will suffice.
A recipe for lightly seared Tuna from Turkey which i found in Claudia Roden’s ” Arabesque”. Serve with a salad or Mashed Potatoes with Olive Oil and Spring Onions.
A quick but classic recipe from ” Melts” by Fern Green. I also like like to do make this on toasted seeded bagels and then pop it under the grill until the cheese melts.
