Hi,
This is a very suitable recipe for summer as there is no need of heat to prepare it. This is a great advantage not only for eating but also for cooking, your kitchen could be a sort of nightmare on those hot summer days.
Ingredients (for 2 people)
- 400 gr tuna
- 1 onion or spring onion
- 1 lemon
- 1 tomato

Tuna and feta rolls
Hello!
I was thinking about preparing a very typical recipe: chorizos a la sidra, but as long as I want to keep my weight I decided to go for a lighter recipe, and then suddenly I think about these rolls stuffed with tuna and feta cheese. The contrast between the crispy exterior and creamy interior is really nice, but just when you finish to cook them. If you eat them at next day they won’t be crispy, but will be a good choice for example for a picnic.
Ingredients:
- 400 gr of tuna without skin and without spines
- Feta cheese
- 2 carrots
- 1 onion
- Phylo pastry
- Soy sauce
Start cutting tuna on to stripes, tuna should be without skin and without spines. Then cut in half the stripes they should be about 3 cms. Grate 2 carrots. Cut 1 onion into strips.
Put a bit of olive oil in a pan. When oil is hot add the onion, tuna and carrots. Stir frequently and cook for about 4 – 5 minutes. There is no need to add salt, as long as soy sauce and feta cheese will add salty flavor enough. After that add soy sauce stir and cook for one or two minutes more.
Extend the phylo pastry and add a bit of tuna on it, place a piece of feta cheese on top of it. Then fold the sides of phylo pastry and roll. Cook the rolls on the oven at 350ºF (180º C) for about 20 to 25 minutes, until they turn gold. Be careful and let them get cold for 10 minutes or more, unless you want to burn your mouth.

Orange hake
Hi,
I usually follow a blog called El comidista, and last week I saw a very interesting recipe I bring to you in video (with some modifications).
Ingredients (for 2 people):

- Flour
- Soy sauce
- Cloves
- Ginger
Start squeezing 2 oranges, put the juice in a bowl. Add also a tablespoon of soy sauce, about 8 cloves, some ginger and finally mix well.
Add some salt to the pieces of hake and then cover with flour, hit a bit each piece to remove the excess of flour.
On a pan add plenty of sunflower oil. You can check when the oil is hot enough by inserting a wooden spoon in the oil, it will be ready when you see bubbles around the spoon. Add the pieces of hake in the hot oil, cook them for about 5 minutes turning them several times. After removing from the pan let the hake rest for 5 minutes on the orange juice; more or less the time you will be cooking the net round of hake pieces.
Serve with a bit of this juice over each piece of hake.

Xavi’s rice
Hi,
Some days ago my boss was telling me how lucky I am for knowing how to cook. Well, it’s true some recipes are not really easy, but there are some recipes really effortless and also with a nice flavor. After thinking about it, I’ve tested this recipe and named after him: Xavi’s rice
Ingredients (for 1 person):
- 100 gr dried mushrooms
- 50 gr rice
- Soy sauce
- Cheese (Old Amsterdam, Parmesan, Grana Padano …)
Add the dried mushrooms in a bowl, add hot water and let rest for 2 hours (or at least 1 hour), water must be hot but not too much, you must be able to maintain your finger inside water. After some time you kitchen will have a nice smell 🙂
Drain the mushrooms but don’t throw away the water, put it in a saucepan and when water is boiling add salt and rice (about 50 gr per person) . Cook for 15 minutes.
When rice is about to be ready add olive oil in a wok, and when oil is hot add the mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook them while stiring for 3-4 minutes. Add soy sauce and then rice previously strained, stir and cook for 3 minutes.
Serve and add grated cheese over, I used Old Amsterdam, but parmesan or grana padano should be also nice.
Baked crispy salmon
Hi,
I’ve learn this recipe from Jamie Oliver’s videos, it’s an amazing recipe to prepare the salmon easily and quick with a really nice crispy touch. If you don’t like food too spicy just remove the chili from the ingredients list.
Ingredients:
- Salmon loin (1 or 2 per person)
- 1 red onion
- 1 chili
- Ginger (about the size of a thumb)
- 5 small radishes
- 1 lemon
- Soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves
- Thyme and rosemary
In first place we will prepare the sauce, to do so add in a blender cup one red onion cut un quarters, one chile, 3 garlice cloves, ginger (about the size of a thumb), 5 small radishes, soy sauce and the juice of a lemon. Mix it well.
Make an incision in the salmon loin, make sure the sharp is really sharp. This will allow to get the spices better distributed on the salmon and also get more uniformly cooked. Even could be nice looking. Over the salmon drop some rock salt, thyme, rosemary and olive oil. Slap with the salmon with your hands so all the spices get stuck.
On an oven tray put the mix already prepared, place the salmon loins with the skin above. Cook in the oven at 420ºF (220ºC) for 20 minutes and you have this recipe ready. Having the skin exposed will make it nicely crisp.
