Mediterranean Tuna Linguine
Ingredients
- 220 g fresh tuna
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 aubergine, skin removed and chopped into cubes
- Handful olives
- 250 g cherry tomatoes,
- oil, salt and pepper
- 2-3 tbsp chopped parsley
- 140 g linguine pasta
Instructions
- Prepare the aubergine: remove the skin with a knife, chop into cubes and put into a bowl with salt. Let it “sweat” for 20-30mins. Squeeze the excess water or pat dry with kitchen roll: this tip will remove some of the bitterness from the aubergine (when I don’t have much time I would skip this step ..but they do taste better following these instructions)
- In a pan add a drizzle of oil and the onion. Once the onion is cooked add the aubergine and cook until it chances colour.
- Add the tuna and cook (when they go completely white on all sides it should be ready). Don’t overcook or they will be very dry).
- Add cherry tomatoes and olives, cook for ~1 minute.
- Serve with a drizzle of oil, salt, pepper and chopped parsley.
