Tuna with Eggplant Pasta

Posted on Nov 3 2014 - 4:30pm by Marianne

I like to mix up my meals at dinner time. Some days we have red meat, some days we have chicken and some days I love to make my Tuna with Eggplant Pasta. The eggplant strips really give this dish a wonderful flavour.

Ingredients
  1. 400 mls of tomato passata sugar free
  2. 1/2 garlic clove crushed
  3. 1/2 onion chopped
  4. 2 small cans of wild caught tuna in olive oil that serves 2.
  5. sea salt
  6. pepper
  7. 1/2 tsp oregano
  8. 1/2 tsp dried basil
  9. 1 tbls ghee for frying
  10. 2 medium eggplants
Instructions
  1. Peel eggplants (or not 🙂 ) and cut off each end. Using a mandolin, slice your eggplants into thick strips, place all the strips in a colander and toss them with sea salt. Place a heavy bowl on top to add weight so the bitter juices run out. Leave this for 20 mins.
  2. In a sauce pan fry the onion, garlic and spices in the ghee.
  3. Once onion is soft add tomato passata, sea salt, pepper and as I always do put a little water in the saucepan, about 100 mls. Cook until it simmers then put the heat on low and add tuna, cover and cook for 20 mins stirring a few times.
  4. Rinse eggplant and squeeze as much of the water out of it.
  5. Add it to the sauce in the pan and stir then cover for 10 mins or more if needed on medium low.
  6. Serve when eggplant is just cooked and soft.
