Secret tuna cake

When I was a child I loved playing with my cousin María Virginia*. My aunt Ermelinda (her mother), not only allowed us to have loose and tangled hair but put a cassette from Rafaella Carrá to dance revoking her head.

In this way I agreed to eat an egg passed by water, something that I would never have tried in my house. They will understand that my aunt Ermelinda I believe everything he says and more. Well, she says this is the secret for a spongy and delicious tuna cake. Take note.

* Yes, that same María Virginia, which recently founded with me the Anti Cupcake League.

Ingredients

For a small cake

  • 1 puff pastry mass
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1/2 Red Mryr
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 little tomato
  • 1 CDA. Tomato puree
  • 2 tuna cans
  • 1 Papa girl
  • 1 pinch of oregano
  • 2 eggs
  • Olives (optional)
  • Sesame seeds
  • Salt, pepper and oil.
Homemade Tuna Cake

Tuna cake recipe

And Erme's secret

  1. Chop the onion , bell and garlic and saute them in oil. I like them in large pieces, which are noticed in the cake, but they can be well chopped.
  2. Add, when the onion is transparent, tomato and cook until it takes a dark red color.
  3. And here comes the secret of the aunt: so that the tuna cake leaves high, spongy and consistent, you have to add a grated potato. It is done as follows: to grate the potato with the fine grater and add it to the sauce. Stir it a minute until you integrate, no more is needed.
  4. tuna to this preparation and remove until integrating. Also incorporate the tablespoon of puree of tomatoes.
  5. Incorporate the beaten eggs Add the oregano (very little).
  6. Add, if desired, olives .
  7. Place everything in a small tarte. The cake will leave high .
  8. upstand seeds .
  9. Bring to a strong oven until the puff pastry looks golden. Ready! You already have your tuna cake.
