Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into wedges
Add the wedges to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crisp
Peel and slice your red onion[s] into rings (roughly 0.5cm thick)
Tip: Pop out the centres so that you have different sized rings!
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the onion rings
Cook for 4-5 min or until softened and slightly caramelised
Once softened, transfer the cooked onion to a clean plate and reserve the pan
Meanwhile, drain your tuna
Combine the drained tuna and your mayo in a bowl with a very generous pinch of salt and pepper – this is your tuna mix
Grate your cheddar cheese finely
Slice your ciabatta[s] in half
Top the ciabatta base with the tuna mix, cooked onion and grated cheese and place the ciabatta lid on top – this is your tuna ciabatta
Return the reserved pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the tuna ciabatta[s] and cover with a smaller pan
Add a heavy weight (eg. several tins) to the top pan and cook for 4-5 min per side, checking occasionally or until the ciabatta is golden and the cheese has melted – this is your tuna & red onion melt
Wash your salad and pat dry with kitchen paper
Slice the tuna & red onion melt in half on the diagonal
Serve the halved tuna & red onion melt with the wedges and salad to the side
Drizzle the salad with a little olive oil
Enjoy!
