A easy to make healthy Ratatouille and tuna steak recipe. The ratatouille also goes well with chicken and other meat dishes too. And can be frozen.
Ratatouille is such a great nutritious and filling vegetable side dish.
I like to make a big batches of it. Then I can store it in my freezer for days when I know I am going to be busy at work.
It's easy to heat it up in the microwave and pair it with something tasty like a tuna steaks!
On Friday’s, I like to take a walk at lunchtime from work to The Fish Plaice in Glasgow. The selection of seafood delights is amazing, fresh and at great prices too.
On this occasion, when I had this recipe in mind for our dinner, was the fact that I only had £6.30 on me and the price of the 2 tuna steaks was a little over £7.00.
Luckily the guy serving me let me off with the extra cost! Now that wouldn’t happen in a supermarket. Plus I was pleased as it brought the “true Scot” in me. Careful with money. 🙂
Ratatouille is particularly low in cholesterol and sodium and is also an excellent source of dietary fibre and other essential vitamins and minerals.
The tuna steaks provide the protein element to the meal with tuna being rich in omega 3 fats which are attributed to helping to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
I used my grill pan to cook 2 thick tuna steaks over a moderate heat, turning frequently to ensure cooking was throughout but the fish was not burned.
