From the Experimental Kitchen: Tonno e Peperoni

[serinde]

The recipe is actually "Penne col Sugo di Tonno e Peperoni", but I don't need the empty starch calories. Of course, I didn't need the HALF CUP OF OLIVE OIL, either. And I was too lazy to roast the peppers in advance. Edits, as you see, were made.

Minced two cloves of garlic, chopped two bell peppers, and sauteed them in (much less) olive oil until nummy. Added salt, pepper, and 2 T. capers. Turned off fire, threw in 2 cans of tuna (water pack, drained). Made a slice of sprouted-wheat toast and applied as much of the glop as would stay on it.

Result: pretty good, and tolerably health-conscious. Obviously with the mercury business you don't want to eat it every day, but I haven't had tuna in a goodly while so I don't think my brain will immediately liquesce.

Thanks for the translation :)

I really love the Misto sprayers for the nonsticks and olive oil. Gives you enough flavor without all the calories, and hey, you still get the benefits of the monounsats. :)

Me too on the Misto. I think that mine is the most-used tool in my kitchen.
