It's a simple yet impressive recipe that's perfect for a leisurely lunch, light dinner or summer picnic. Using fresh, high-quality tuna makes all the difference, creating a delicious meal that's ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 ciabatta rolls
- 1 medium free range egg
- 5 tsp olive oil
- 240g pack No.1 MSC Yellowfin Tuna Steaks
- 2 No.1 Red Choice Tomatoes, sliced
- 4 tsp red wine vinegar
- 30g cucumber, finely sliced
- ¼ small red onion, finely sliced
- 9 pitted Kalamata olives, torn
- 6 anchovy fillets
- 8 basil leaves
Method
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) / Gas Mark 6. Warm the ciabatta rolls following the instructions on the packet.
While the rolls are heating, place the egg in a saucepan of boiling water and cook for around 8 minutes. Transfer it to cold water, then peel and cut into slices.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium to high heat. Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper, then cook for 1–2 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and how you like your tuna cooked. Remove from the pan and leave to rest briefly.
Cut the warm ciabatta rolls in half. Layer the tomato slices onto the bottom halves, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon each of olive oil and vinegar. Add the cucumber, red onion and olives before placing the tuna steak on top. Finish with the sliced egg, anchovies and fresh basil leaves. Drizzle over the remaining olive oil and vinegar, season to taste, then place the tops of the rolls on and gently press together. Serve immediately while the rolls are still warm.
