Pepper Tuna with Tomatoes

Watching a travel program this evening motivated me to run into the kitchen and start doing *something*, not knowing exactly what I was going to end up with. I started by cutting a few slices off a gourd and sauteing them in a little olive oil. Next came the tuna, which was steamed, shredded, seasoned with fresh ground black pepper, chopped jalapenos and salt, then mixed with a little really hot olive oil. What next… peeled, chopped and boiled potatoes in salted water - mashed ‘em and seasoned that with salt, chilli powder, a little turmeric, a splash of milk and a dash of worcestershire. Retrieved the lightly slit tomatoes that were in a pot of boiling water, peeled and chopped them and then chopped an onion. Both went into a frying pan with some hot olive oil and sauteed. Added some garlic and then some stock. thicken a little and take off the heat. Finally - layer the potatoes, tuna, gourd in any way you prefer and serve with the tomato-onion mixture. Perhaps some warm bread drizzled with a little olive oil and sprinkled with some parmesan and pepper? |

Nice effort! For an impromptu cooking session, sounds like the results were pretty special!Just in regards to the photo, it looks as though your white balance is a bit off. Might I suggest these two articles I wrote on the topic?1. Managing white balance on-camera2. Correcting light temperature in post-production
Thanks Ellie. I’ve fixed the photo following your articles and it looks much better now.
