Italian Tuna Tartare
Today we celebrate Tuna, with a delicious Italian style tuna tartare. This recipe is a great alternative to your average Tartare with the additions of red pepper, basil, olives, cucumber, and toasted chopped peanuts for added texture. Tuna is a super healthy alternative low fat protein, thanks to its omega-3 fatty acids, making this a brilliant dish for anyone wishing to lead a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, tomatoes are a powerhouse of lycopene, a heart healthy antioxidant. This recipe is the Mediterranean on a plate and works perfectly with Chilli No 5’s Siracha Cha Cha Cha hot sauce.
