Tuna Kofte With Pomegranate Molasses Mint Glaze With Crushed Spicy Hummus Recipes

SPICY TUNA AND HUMMUS SALAD

Steps:

• Drain roasted red peppers and pat dry. Puree in a food processor until finely chopped.
• Transfer roasted red peppers to a bowl. Add tuna, hard-boiled eggs, hummus, green onions, celery, Sriracha sauce, capers, and seafood seasoning. Mix together. Divide into individual 1-cup portions and refrigerate.

TUNA AND HUMMUS SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Drain the oil from the tuna, reserving the oil. Place the tuna in a mixing bowl and flake it with a fork. Add the celery, onion, cornichons, lemon juice, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil, the mustard, salt, and pepper and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.
• Toast the bread and spread each slice with a layer of hummus. Spread the tuna salad on each piece of bread, garnish with slices of radish, and serve immediately.
• For the Hummus:
• Place the chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of the reserved liquid, the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until coarsely pureed. The hummus should be moist and thick; add more lemon juice or reserved chickpea liquid to thin, if necessary. Cover and refrigerate for several hours for the flavors to blend. Taste for seasonings. Yield: 2 cups.

TUNA KOFTA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a small pan, add the onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add cumin and cook another minute, stirring well.
• Place drained chick peas, egg and onion mixture into a food processor and process until chopped and well-combined. Place in a bowl and stir in the drained tuna, parsley and lemon zest.
• Using a 1/4 cup of mixture and wet hands, shape the mixture into 8 small oval sausages. Roll each sausage in fresh breadcrumbs and place on an oven tray. Lightly coat each kofta with spray oil.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 15 minutes, turning half way. Thread onto wooden skewers and serve with combined yoghurt and mint or with my Apple Mint Yoghurt Salsa Recipe #320813.
• TIP: Shape mixture into 16 smaller shapes - perhaps balls - and serve as an entrée or finger food, with Apple Mint Yoghurt Salsa Recipe #320813 in a separate bowl, for dipping.
