Courgettes with tuna
For the first meal as part of the seven day challenge for the De’Longhi Multifry Challenge, I’ve done something very NOT fried.
In fact there was no oil involved at all. It seems the name given to this piece of kit is somewhat misleading – it can be used as a workspace top cooker as much as a fryer.
Essentially it’s a cooking dish with a high powered element above and below.
I choose this recipe from the app mainly because it was so simple – the courgettes are basically stuffed with a food processed mix of courgette flesh, tinned tuna, pine nuts and Grana Padano cheese. Baked for 25 mins and that’s it, a low cal simple meal.
I served them with a mixed salad and some seasonal Jersey Royals with parsley butter.
A few things to note on its first run out:
- On the plus side, it’s really easy to clean with no messy attachments to worry about.
- On the downside, it’s noisey. So are fan cookers but it was surprisingly loud for its small size.
- I like the way the app recipes all come with a calorie guide – this dish just 127 cals per serving.
So first attempt was a success – I’ll try something a bit more complicated tomorrow.
