  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 5,3 oz fresh tuna fillet 150 gr
  • 2 fillets dried tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon peeled almonds
  • 2 tablespoons minced pistachios
  • salt

Instructions

  1. Blend together half of the mint leaves and half of the raisins. Dice half of the tomato.
  2. Heat one teaspoon of olive oil in a small frying pan and add the diced tomato and a pinch of salt. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, add the blended mint leaves and let cook 2-3 minutes, on a low heat. Set aside and clean the pan with a piece of paper.
  3. Meantime blend together dried tomatoes, half of the almonds, the remaining raisins and the remaining mint leaves.
