Tasty Quickie: Tuna and Tomato Store Cupboard Feast

By Laura Silver

I seem to have given up going to the supermarket recently, but then if you had experienced the crack-house that is Morrison’s in Shepherds Bush, you’d understand why. But just because I felt like ‘Old Mother Hubbard’ when staring into a rather sparse store cupboard the other day didn’t stop me cooking up a delicious dinner.

The likes of tuna and chopped tomatoes are notorious cupboard lurkers, and simply cooking them up with a bit of pepper, onion, garlic and some suspicious looking bulgar wheat (like cous cous but chunkier) I have had for a while leaves you with a healthy, flavoursome meal that resembles something you could have even set out to make deliberately!

 

Ingredients (serves 2)

100g dried bulgar wheat

1 can of tuna drained

1 can chopped tomatoes

1 onion finely spiced

1 red pepper finely sliced

1 clove of garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon of chilli sauce

1 teaspoon of olive oil

salt/pepper

 

Directions

Bring 200mls water to the boil and add wheat. Reduce heat, place a lid on the pan and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and wheat is tender like rice.

Meanwhile, fry onion, garlic and pepper in oil for 5-7 minutes until beginning to soften and brown. Add can of tuna and fry for a further 3 minutes.

Add tomatoes and chilli sauce and simmer for 5mins to allow tomatoes to thicken into sauce.

Season with salt and pepper and serve a generous helping of the tomato and tuna mixture on a mini-mound of bulgar wheat.
