Sunflower Salad – Sunflower Salad Recipe – Italian Cuisine

Boil the potatoes in a saucepan with boiling water for about 40 minutes. When they are cooked, remove the peel and pass them with a potato masher.

Put in the mixer with the tuna and mayonnaise and mix well. Season with salt. Put the mousse in a round serving dish, then let it rest in the fridge for half an hour.

Take the tuna and potato mousse from the fridge and decorate with the pitted black olives, cut in half.

Place the Pringles chips in a radial pattern on the mousse base to form petals. Then serve your sunflower salad.

This is a mildly curried side dish to serve alongside a meat or chicken curry, or can be served as a light vegetarian supper on it’s own. Take care to use a mild chilli powder and add sparingly – you can always add more later, but you can’t take it away! If you like hot food add a little chopped fresh red chilli or chilli flakes when frying off the spices. A little fresh coriander is delicious sprinkled over this Chana Masala just before serving.

If you wish to use dried chick peas you will need to soak them overnight in cold water then drain and place in a large pan, cover with water, bring to the boil, boil for 15 mins then reduce the heat and simmer until tender. Do not add salt until the end of cooking time as this will toughen the skins.

2tbsp sunflower oil
3cm piece root ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1tsp garam masala
1/2tsp mild chilli powder
400g can tomatoes
2x 400g can chick peas, drained
1 lime
Warmed Nann bread or chapattis to serve

Method

Fry the onions in the sunflower oil over a low heat for 5 mins until softened. Add the ginger, garlic, garam masala and chilli powder and fry for just 1 minute to release the flavours.
Add the tomatoes and chick peas and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 10 mins. Season with salt, black pepper and a squeeze of lime juice, to taste
Slice the remaining lime and serve alongside the Chana masala.

This is so simple to make and very easy to vary according to your families likes and dislikes. Add flaked coconut instead of almonds, vary the seeds, and add whatever dried fruits and berries your family enjoy. Granola makes a healthy breakfast dish with yogurt and fresh fruit or sprinkle it over cooked fruit such as apples, plums or rhubarb for a quick desert.
