Lamb's Lettuce, roasted Red Pepper, Olives and Tuna Salad / Salada de Canónigos, Pimento Vermelho assado, Azeitonas e Atum.


I don't know if I have already told you but I don't like canned tuna. Actually, now I should say, I didn't like canned tuna...
Yes, I changed my mind and got converted to canned tuna by Manuela who offered me two cans of the fantastic Santa Catarina canned tuna from Azores.
Manuela said that after I tried that tuna I'd be converted and I really did because is an outstanding tuna and very high quality.
This salad was prepared for Marta and her "ingredient of the month" which is, as I wrote here, the peppers!
The suggestion is from Omar Allibhoy gorgeous book "Spanish Made Simple" and although simple to put together, it's very, very delicious.

Tuna tartare / Tártaro de atum.


I love tartare! Vegetables, fish, meat, you name it and I'll have it and love it!
As soon as I saw the picture of this tartare on instagram, I couldn't help but try it and actually, since then, I made it already 4 more times. That's how divine it is!!
The recipe is from the well known Chef Ljubomir Stanisic and, here at home, each time I prepare it, is always received with a round of applause.
ingredients (serves 4 as a starter):
285g fresh tuna
1 raw (free range and very fresh) egg yolk
very small pinch of sea salt flakes
10g boiled egg white, finely chopped
5g boiled egg yolk, finely chopped
10g Avruga caviar
1g chives, finely snipped
10g horseradish, grated (I used creamed horseradish)
15g kisame (fresh wasabi) (I used wasabi paste)
3 tbsp soy sauce
method:
Using a sharp knife, chop the tuna into very small dice and place it in a serving bowl.
Top the tuna with the raw egg yolk and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
Place all the remaining ingredients in little serving bowls.
To serve, mix all the ingredients with the tuna and the raw egg yolk and serve with toasted bread.

Amo tudo o que é tártaro, seja de vegetais, peixe ou carne, é algo que está no top dos meus pratos preferidos!
Este tártaro de atum é uma receita magnífica do Chef Ljubomir Stanisic a qual, assim que vi a foto no instagram, não pude deixar de reproduzir em casa.
Na verdade, desde que o preparei a primeira vez, já o preparei mais 4 vezes depois disso, o que, a meu ver, é um excelente indicador do quão maravilhoso é.
Caso gostem de tártaro de peixe, não deixem de experimentar esta sugestão, pois é dos céus!
