    Mauritian tuna salad is a classic at home! The visual has been revisited a bit in lime halves.

    Ingredients

    • 220g canned tuna in olive oil (preferably organic)
    • 1 small bunch fresh coriander
    • Salt & pepper
    • The juice of one lime
    • 3 small tomatoes
    • 2 piments oiseaux (or more)
    • 1 heaped tablespoon chopped red onion
    • 10 limes, cut in half and hollowed out (squeeze them and keep the juice for seasoning and also to make panacon)

    Method

    1. Start by crumbling the tuna in a bowl with a fork and drizzle with the olive oil from the can itself; the advantage is that the tuna flavor will be greatly enhanced as it will have thoroughly infused in its preserving oil.
    2. Chop the coriander and add it to the tuna.
    3. Sprinkle with chopped onion and coriander. Cut the piments into small pieces and add them to the mixture.
    4. Cut the tomatoes, removing the seeds to avoid too much juice. Dice them into small squares. Add them to the tuna.
    5. Drizzle with lime juice, salt, and plenty of pepper. Mix well and distribute into each lime half. Enjoy!
