I haven't updated in a while but i have no restaurant posts to write yet 'cause i always forget to bring camera with me. so instead, i'll be posting a recipe for a dish i made just a while ago. This recipe is basic and easy to do. It's fresh but with a spicy kick to it.
Spicy Wholemeal Pasta and Tuna Salad
Ingredients:
250g (half a pack) San Remo Wholemeal Spirals
180g (1 can) Century Tuna - Hot and Spicy
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Cucumber
2 large Tomatoes
3 cloves Garlic
1 small Onion
around 5 tbsp Olive Oil
1 to 1/2 tsp dried Tarragon
1 tsp Lemon zest
Chili Powder, Salt and Pepper to taste
Mince the onion and garlic. Dice the Tomatoes and Cucumber, don't forget to scrape the seeds off these. Shred the carrot.
Cook the pasta until al dente. Try not to overcook. Set aside.
In a pan, saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil. Add drained tuna and tarragon, then the tomatoes, cucumber and carrot. Sprinkle salt, pepper, chili powder and lemon zest. Saute for 1 minute. Mix the pasta in and serve.
Easy, right? you can sprinkle chopped nuts and more chili powder if you like. Tips: don't cook the cucumber too long, you would want them to still be fresh and crisp. You can use any other small pasta, i just used the wholemeal one 'cause it has more fiber, so i guess it's healthier (wink).
I'm no chef, i just like to cook and eat. I hope you try the recipe and give me feedback about it.
Till my next post, +J
