This is a brilliant recipe because it is very simple, easy to make in bulk, really tasty and gets in a lot of micronutrition. I also really enjoy eating this cold or warm, I might just be odd but I have been eating this from the fridge at work and it hits the spot.
What you will need:
- 3 tins of tuna
- 2 tins of chopped tomatoes
- 2 celery heads
- 3 peppers
- 2 large red onions
- 2 boxes of mushrooms
- 3 close of garlic
- 2 tspn coconut oil
- 1 stock cube
I don’t want to list out the exact grams of each of the above items, because I know it varies each time I make this. That is because packets provide estimated weights, also things like onions and peppers vary in size. However, the above is enough to go from to make this recipe work.
What you need to do:
- Chop up the garlic, onions, celery and peppers and add them to the pan with the coconut oil. Fry these until slightly soft.
- Add in the tins; so tomatoes and tuna, once mixed in drop your stock cube in and allow it to cook for a little while.
- Now you can chuck in your mushrooms, these will cook down fast so you could turn off the heat once these are mixed in if you desire a harder mushroom!
That’s it, simple as three steps, told you it was easy! You can then add a side of your choice, you could have this over a baked potato, make it into a pasta dish or do as I did and have it with basmati rice.
