Klovis.
If I had a cat I’d feed it tuna amongst the flowers in the urban garden bed.
tuna and sweet potato stack with summer salsa
per person serve
50g 1/2 cup grated sweet potato
95g can (the wee ones) quality tuna drained
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon coconut flour
Sprinkle sweet or smoked paprika*
1 teaspoon coconut oil for frying
1 tablespoon fresh herb (soft like coriander, basil, dill, parsley etc.)
60g 1/4 cup corn kernals, drained if not fresh
1 clove garlic crushed
1/2 avocado, diced
100g or 1 red tomato finely chopped (or 1/2 red capsicum)+
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
1 tablespoon lime juice can use lemon or apple cider vinegar (half amount)
Cracked pepper (optional)
Jalapeños or chillies to taste (optional)
Mix the egg, flour and spice seasoning and allow to sit while you grate the sweet potato. Stir in the sweet potato and tuna into this mix until well combined.
Heat your frying pan to medium heat and melt the coconut oil. Divide your tuna mix into three lots and create fritters that are about 5mm high and of even thickness. Allow to cook on one side until a deep golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, flip and repeat.
While cooking off your fritters dice your tomato (or capsicum) and avocado. You don’t have to but I fried off my garlic with my corn kernels to give them a ‘charred’ experience. Chop up your fresh herb. Mix all together in a small bowl with the juice and olive oil. I like mine with heaps of cracked pepper and some finely chopped fresh chilli.
Serve as a stack by putting a fritter on the base of the plate, then 1/4 of the salsa, repeat and on the last stack pile the remaining salsa.
This dish is amazing cold or the fritters reheated in the frypan, oven or microwave for breakfast or lunch the next day, If taking for lunch keep the fritters and the salsa separate until ready to eat. Great lunch to-go.
So moral to the Klovov cat Klovis story is MAKE EXTRA as you might make a friend over lunch with salsa and won’t be lonely.
*You can change the flavours – cumin powder, coriander powder, chilli powder, cayenne pepper, five spice, anything goes – what you feeling? What’s in the cupboard.
+I suggest using capsicum in place of tomato if you want to take for lunch the next day as tomato doesn’t present so well the following day.
