Tuna Samosa

Jazzing up traditional Samosa, so here it is stuffed with Tuna. Yumm!

Ingredients:

Fillo Dough (Samosa sheets)

Light Tuna

Onions

Tomatoes.

Rosemary

Thyme

Salt and Pepper

Mozzarella Cheese

Dried Mint.

Steps:

-Finely chop the tomato and onion.

-Drain the Tuna from its water. Add to it the chopped vegetables, and mix.

-Add the spices: a good pinch of thyme, rosemary, and lots of dried mint. Finish it with salt as much as you like, and a small pinch of black pepper. Mix all ingredients well, and smooth the tuna using a fork.

-Start stuffing the fillo dough with a good tbsp of the mix, and top it with mozzarella cheese.

-Then deep fry them. Et Bon Appetit. :)

Notes:

-If you're dieting, you can dispense with the frying step, and just get a pan, brush it with oil, and pop the samosa into the oven. It won't be puffy as when fried, but tastes really good as well.

Tuna Pasta

Note: This recipe is pro-diet (ay walahy :D)

Story behind it: Kalimat told me about it like 5 years ago, and I have been doing it since then. I modified a bit along the way, and here you go.

Ingredients:

*Pasta (Penne I prefer, or spaghetti)
*a can and a half of Light Tuna (soaked in water)
*Tbsp. of olive oil (or vegetable oil if you'd like)
*Diced Tomatoes.
*2 Bell Peppers.
*Mushrooms.
*1 Carrot.
*2 Onions.
*Salt and Pepper
*Oregano and Thyme
*Dried Basil
*Dried Mint.
*Soy Sauce.
*Paprika.
*Chili. (optional)
*Lime juice or half of a small fresh lemon.

-Serves 4-5 people (and there will be plenty of it)

How is it done?

1- Boil some water, and add the pasta to it, with a pinch of salt, cook for almost 7 min.
2-While you're waiting for the pasta to cook, start cutting the onions julienne or in thin rings.
3-Then cut the Bell peppers julienne as well (You can throw coloured peppers in here to).
4-Dice the tomatoes and then make a pile of carrot thin peels.
5-Check the pasta, you'll find it almost done now.:)

Making the Sauce:

1- Heat the tbsp. of oil in your pot.
2-Add the cut onions to it..and stir till it starts to get yellowish a bit and change colour (do not fry the onions!)
3-Add few drops of soy sauce to the onions; and add the mushrooms, then stir.
4-Directly add to them the cut bell peppers and the carrot peels.
5-Add extra few drops of Soy sauce to the whole pot of vegetable.
6-Cover the pot till the vegetables are half-way cooked.
7-Once you find the peppers are getting softer, add to the pot the tomatoes.
8-Directly after that, add the spices: a reasonable pinch of salt, a small pinch of ground black pepper, the oregano and thyme, a good pinch of dried mint, paprika and chili, and the basil.
9-Let the tomatoes cook till it gets juicy a bit (The below pic. shows how the vegetables will look like now!)

10-Now drain the tuna from its water, don't leave it in chunks, use a fork to make it smooth in small pieces.
11- Add the tuna to your pot of deliciously smelling vegetables, and stir.
12-Add the tbsp. of lime juice, or squeeze half a lemon to the mix. and stir.
13-Let it set for a minute.
14- Now mix with the pasta, or serve it on top of it, et Bon Appetit.

Side Notes:

*If you want your sauce to be more juicy: After almost cooking the tomatoes  add a tbsp. of tomato paste to it with half a cup of water, and let the sauce cook through a bit.

*You can cut the carrots julienne, instead of peeling it off.

*If you are a fan of olives, add some when adding the bell peppers and carrots.

*You can make the same dish, but instead of adding tuna, you can add sausages, chicken, or minced meat. However in this case, do not add the lime juice at the end.

P.S. I cooked it today. This has always been my favourite dish since forever, and my saviour when I was staying alone.
