Tuna, mash, peas & parsley sauce is one of my all-time favourite meals. Even with tinned tuna it is ace, but fresh tuna is a different thing altogether. As a meal at home you would probably do some proper mashed spuds but seeing as I’m on a limited timescale here I’ll use Smash, and also instant parsley sauce, although whipping a bit of Hollandaise sauce together in the Bongo isn’t too big a drama.

Fresh tuna steaks, chillies, Smash, peas & parsley sauce

Chop the chillies up. Don’t be a wuss, leave the seeds in....

....and sprinkle on the tuna. At this point, don’t pick your nose or rub your eyes


Fry the tuna on high heat in a little butter. Don’t overdo it otherwise it’ll be like leather

Meanwhile get the peas on and boil some water for the mash & parsley sauce

Hot Tuna - How difficult does lunch need to be?
