05/07/07 12:00 AM | Tuna PomodoroThis was a simple inexpensive meal with great taste for my family of 5 that worked out well. Having young children (3) a bit picky (3-10 yr olds) I dropped the Anchovies and doubled the tuna to 12 oz. I did not drain the tomotoes or the Tuna (in water), but allowed them to simmer down by adding 8 minutes to the cooking time. I also did not add basil, but added a sprinkle of dill for flavor. The flavor truly comes out if you allow the finished Tuna mixture to rest for 30 minutes after cooking. Try it - It's totally different immediately cooked and after resting - it's mildly sweet with a hint of pepper zest. This meal will make it into my monthly line up of weekday meals. Total Preperation and Cooking time was 1 hour - That includes cutting, heating pans, cooking, and serving, as well as, adding an additional 30 minutes for resting and reheating of dish for 5 minutes. Next time I'm cooking it with Anchovies for my wife and meself. Warning - Originally I would have rated this as a 2 Star if I had not given it the extra 30 minutes to "Flavor Up".... |
