Mediterranean sausage, fennel, canellini bean and tomato cassoulet

Claire — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 21:02:55 +0000

Whilst catching up on some blogs, I came across this recipe from Mostly Eating. I made it on Saturday and it was delicious… though I couldnt get any fresh oregano so used fresh thyme (next time I want to use oregano though, I dont think the thyme was quite right) and I threw in a glass of white wine as Sophie suggested which made it more cassoulet-like.

I also have my eye on this summer spelt recipe from Mostly Eating – keep up the good work Sophie!

Chilli Tuna with Mixed Bean Salad

Claire — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 19:01:41 +0000

Yet another quick dish I’ve thrown together. It is filling and rather tasty in a zesty kind of a way.

Ingredients

2 Tuna Steaks
1 lime
1 red chilli
Olive oil
Tin of mixed beans (Soya beans, Chick Peas, Pinto Beans, Black Eye Beans, Red Kidney Beans & Aduki Beans)
Mixed salad leaves – we used rocket, spinach and watercress
3 tomatoes

Method

Rinse Tuna & put in a dish so that they can lie down next to each other
Squeeze juice of lime & a good glug of olive oil over tuna
Chop chilli finely & add to tuna – cover dish & pop in fridge for 20 minutes
Put griddle pan on to heat up
Drain tin of bean & rinse well
Put tuna in griddle pan, pour over excess liquid, season with salt and pepper – cook as you like it
Place a good handful of leaves on a plate, sprinkle over a good handful of beans & place tomatoes around the side
Place tuna steak on top of salad & serve

Delicous and healthy, even if I do say so myself.
