Give your canned tuna a gourmet twist with this simple recipe that transports you to a tropical island with every bite
Ingredients
1 small red onion, diced
1 red chili, seeded and finely chopped
2 limes (one juiced, one cut into wedges)
½ teaspoon salt
90g freshly grated coconut*
½ bunch cilantro (or 2 fresh curry leaves), finely chopped
2 tins of 160g MSC certified tuna in water, drained
4 pieces of pita, sliced open
A few leaves of iceberg lettuce
* If you prefer, you can use dried coconut flakes instead. Just add 2 tablespoons of coconut milk along with the flakes.
How to:
- Work the red onion, chilli, lime juice and salt in a bowl. In the Maldives, these ingredients are kneaded by hand to allow the flavours to blend
- Add the coconut, cilantro, and tuna. Mix with a spoon until all ingredients are combined and the tuna has a flaky texture. Set aside.
- Prepare the pita bread according to the packaged direction or heat them to your liking using a toaster or oven.
- Fill the pitas with some lettuce and the mas huni and serve with the lime wedges.
