Spain has a love for tuna in its dishes. I know many dishes that contain tuna fish as one of the main ingredients. In fact, you can always find cans of tuna in my pantry because there are so many different ways you can use it. Many tourist traveling for first time to Spain are surprised when they order their salad ( a house salad) and it comes accompanied of tuna and some olives. Yes, tuna, I would say is one of the most common ingredients in Spanish cooking.
INGREDIENTS
One large can of tuna
One dozen eggs
Mayonnaise
Spanish tomato sauce
One small onion
This is really a very simple recipe with a lot of flavor an easy to prepare. Start by cutting in half the boiled eggs. Do not over cook them or the egg yolk will turn green.
Prepare a mixture of tuna, chopped onion and mayonnaise. Fill each half egg white with the tuna mixture. Prepare the tomato sauce or you can buy a already prepared Spanish style fried tomato sauce. Apply a spoonful of the Tomato sauce to each egg and finally spread on top the egg yolks all crumbled with a pinch of salt all over the eggs. Chill and serve.
Fried Tomato Sauce
To make this sauce you will need some ripe tomatoes ( 6-10)
3-4 garlic cloves
olive oil
beef flavor bouillon ( one large)
Let the tomatoes cook till all the water has reduce and the tomatoes acquire a dark rich red color.
Once done, you will have to use a puree strainer to get a smooth mixture with no tomatoes skins.
