I have been itching to have a go at it ever since I got back and this week was the week.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"> <!--more--><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"> Interestingly and completely unintentionally it collided with the news that many british supermarkets had been selling beef burgers that contained horse meat and pork. Which got me thinking. How much do we really know what is in our food? It&#8217;s actually quite scary. I had always thought that by cooking most meals From Scratch you pretty much know what is in your food because you put it all there. However it had never really occurred to me that any meat I bought wouldn&#8217;t just be the meat I thought it was. It has made me think it might be worth the extra money and time visiting a butcher. Because whilst meat is meat, I think knowing what you are putting in your body whether it&#8217;s particularly healthy or not is important. It gives you control and allows you to make your own choices about what you want to eat. So what better reason to cook From Scratch \u2013 and why not start with this delicious Tuna Burger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">This burger is lovely and meaty at the same time as being so light and delicious, I think it&#8217;s going to be a regular when it comes to summer barbecues and just sheer indulgence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">It&#8217;s very simple and quick to make \u2013 why not try it for supper this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><strong>Ingredients\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/suppersfromscratch.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/tb-edit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-1137\" alt=\"Tuna Burger\" src=\"http:\/\/suppersfromscratch.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/tb-edit.jpg?w=325\" width=\"325\" height=\"490\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">(makes 2)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">2 tuna Steaks<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">2 sprigs of Basil<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">2 sprigs of Mint<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">a dash of ground Corriander<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">a handful of Spring Onions roughly chopped<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">1 Chilli<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Zest 1 Lemon<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Olive Oil<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Salt and Pepper<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><em>To Serve<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Crusty Roll<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Tomato and Lettuce salad<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><strong>Method<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">In a food processor blitz basil, mint, spring onions and chilli together,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Remove from processor and mix in coriander and lemon zest<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Dice your tuna into tiny cubes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">In a bowl mix the tuna with your herb mix and combine into balls and then squash down into patties<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Place in the fridge for about 20 mins<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Heat a griddle pan, remove tuna burgers and cover with olive oil and a bit of salt and pepper<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Place in the pan and leave to cook for 4\/5 mins on one side, flip over and cook for 4\/5 mins on the other side<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Remove from the pan squeeze a dash of lemon over and place in bun, with salad (as a side note adding a dash of tomato ketchup is pretty delicious as well)!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">So next time you fancy a burger and want to know exactly what goes into it.
