4 people
Ingredients

For Tuna Loaf
70g grated parmesan
400g tuna (canned)
1 tbsp capers
50g bread crumbs
1 lemon peel (without white)
2 eggs

For Rocket Pesto
100g rocket (washed and wiped)
70g EVO
30g pine nuts
30g grated pecorino cheese (or parmesan)
A pinch of salt, black pepper

To complete
800g water
Vegetables (optional)


Tuna Loaf Preparation

Grate lemon peel for 10 seconds on Speed 8. Repeat if needed. Clean down the sides of TM bowl with spatula
Drain the oil in the tuna can and add tuna in TM bowl
Add capers, grated parmesan, bread crumbs and eggs. Mix for 20 seconds on Speed 4 and then for 10 seconds on Speed 5
Rub your hands with a bit oil. Prepare your loaf in a rectangle form.
Wet some wax paper under the water and squeeze it gently. Wrap tuna loaf with it and place it in the Varoma bowl

Rocket Pesto Preparation
In a washed and dried TM bowl, put rocket, EVO, pine nuts and grated pecorino. Add salt and black pepper. Proceed for 30 second on Speed 6. Set aside

Final Step:
Put 800g water. Place Varoma over and cook for 25-30 minutes on Speed 2
After cooked, set aside and let it cool down
After cooled down, cut into slices, serve to the plates. Put rocket pesto on the slices

Optional:
If you like, you can also cook some vegetables at the same time to serve together. Fill your Varoma tray with  julienned carrot, eggplant, zucchini, pepper, mushroom… etc anything you like and cook them together with Tuna Loaf


Hints:

I used some of rocket pesto the next day as pasta sauce.

I got this from Io e il mio Bimby book but I made few changes. Originally it is served on pane casereccio (county bread) slices decorated with rocket salad and sliced radish.

Thanks farfallina - absolutely love Varoma dishes like this.  Ones that you can also cook vegetables at the same time are even better.

I wasn't sure about this until I looked at the picture. It would taste lovely with the rocket pesto spread over it.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
