Ingredients

  • 100-200g of tuna (1 or 2 small cans)
  • 1 can of lentils
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup of creamy, thick whole-egg mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon of seeded mustard
  • Chilli flakes
  • Salt and pepper
  • Optional extras: 1/2 a pickle, chopped, chopped parsley and/or capers

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse lentils in a sieve until water runs clear, then leave to drain as long as possible – liquid is the enemy of this bowl of goodness
  2. Drain tuna of as much oil or water as possible and crush any big bits
  3. Add lentils, tuna, mayonnaise, mustard and any optional extras to a bowl and mix well
  4. Add a generous sprinkling of chilli flakes – this is not a spicy dish, as the chilli flakes don’t have time to heat up their surrounding ingredients if you eat straight away
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
  6. Mix well and then eat!

Notes on this recipe

  • The lentils and tuna are dull without the extras so be very generous with the mayonnaise, chilli, salt and pepper to coat each and every lentil and piece of tuna in deliciousness
  • Liquid dilutes the mayonnaise, so keep the ingredients well drained
  • This recipe makes a great quick meal or snack
  • Very bowel friendly
