La Place + recipe tuna salad.

Salaam alaykum,

In Holland we have a restaurant called La Place. Actually it is a “food on the go” restaurant, but you can also sit there and eat. They sell really high quality food; everything is homemade, super fresh and organic. What I also like is that all the food is made right in front of you; for example, if you want a pizza, you can choose the ingredients you desire and they bake it for you in a real pizza oven! Hmm La Place! 

They also have really delicious Italian coffee and great pastry which you can enjoy after a long day of shopping. Ooh how do I love their brownies, they are really the best I’ve ever had!!!

Ok so why do I mention La Place? That is because they have the best tuna salad ever! When my mother and I wanted to take a break during a day of shopping, we used to go there especially for their Panini with tuna salad, combined with one of their freshly squeezed juices or smoothies. Oh how I missed those days!

Well, about a week ago I was craving for a Panini with tuna salad from La Place and no, I’m not going to travel thousands of miles just to get that Panini! Although, after a while it didn’t sound like a bad idea after all! But let’s get to the point. So as preserving as I am, I knew that someone in this world must have this recipe in his possession and I certainly knew that someone had posted it on the www. So I began my search and TADAA! There it was!

They actually use cocktail sauce and that is sometime prepared with alcohol, so to make this recipe halal, we’re just going to use mayonnaise and ketchup!

Ingredients:

2 Apples

2 Tomatoes

2 Medium onions

250 ml Mayonnaise

250 ml Ketchup

10g Salt and pepper

500g Canned tuna

Preparation:

  

• Remove the core from the apples and cut them into cubes from 3 x 3 mm. Do the same with the onions and the tomatoes.

• Drain the tuna and mix it together with the apples, onions and tomatoes in a bowl.

• Add the ketchup and mayonnaise and mix it well together with a spatula.

• Make sure that it’s not to mushy!

• Then add the salt and pepper.

Bon appétit!
