How to prepare the cold tuna cake
To prepare this delicious tuna cake you will need:
Ingredients:
300 g of lettuce (cut into pieces).
Half an onion (finely chopped).
70 g of pepper (red or green, chopped).
150 g of corn (sweet corn, optional).
100 g of pitted black olives.
1 large or 2 small tomatoes (cut into small pieces).
1 carrot (grated).
3 hard boiled eggs.
200 g of canned tuna.
Salt to taste.
Light mayonnaise.
Whole grain bread.
4 slices of cooked ham.
2 slices of cheese.
Lettuce (for decoration).
Preparation:
We start with a vibrant mix, everything finely chopped: lettuce, onion, pepper, corn, olives, tomato, carrot and hard-boiled eggs. We add canned tuna for a delicious twist.
The light mayonnaise will be our ally to give it creaminess. Add a few tablespoons, adjusting according to your preference. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well so that all the ingredients are infused with flavor.
It’s time to prepare the layers of our cake. Place a base of wholemeal bread in a mold lined with cling film.
We spread a thin layer of mayonnaise to give that touch of freshness and moisture to the bread.
We added a little of our tuna and vegetable mixture, taking care to distribute it evenly so that each bite is a balanced delight.
We repeat the process in layers: bread, mayonnaise, filling. The key is repetition to create a cake that is visually appealing and full of flavor!
We finish with a layer of bread and cover the mold with cling film. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, although the magic happens if you leave it overnight.
For decoration we create flowers with cooked ham and cheese. By following the steps detailed in the video, we get a beautiful presentation that will delight both the sight and the palate.
Once unmolded you will reveal a fresh, colorful and flavorful cake. Serve each portion accompanied by lettuce leaves for an even more elegant presentation.
