We’ve also chosen this recipe because there’s no better way of combining all of the flavours of the Mediterranean. So, let’s get it started:
Ingredients
- 100 gr lettuce
- 300 gr potatoes suitable for roasting
- 100 gr goats cheese (sliced)
- 1 tin tuna belly
- 1 tablespoon fried onion with extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Masía El Altet High Quality extra virgin olive oil
- A pinch of mustard
- Salt
- Black pepper
Preparation
- First of all, prepare the fried onion. When it’s ready, tender and golden, take it off the gas and drain it so that there’s no olive oil left.
- Now it’s time to cook the potatoes. Wash them carefully and cook them with the skin on in abundant water for 10 minutes. But check them every so often to see if they’re cooked.
- Once they’re ready, cut them into 1-cm thick slices and roast them either in the oven or on a barbecue. All the better if you roast them on a barbecue because that way, you’ll have the marks of the grill on them and the appearance afterwards will be all the more original. Brush them with a a little olive oil.
- Now you have to prepare the vinagrette. For it, you need 2 spoonfuls of extra virgin olive oil, the mustard and the salt.
- With everything you’ve already prepared, you can now plate it up. In first place, you have to have a good lettuce base. Then add the fried onion. On top of the onion put the slices of potato and the drained tuna belly fillets. Season it with the vinagrette you’ve prepared and finally add the goats cheese.
