A Yemeniyah's Recipes

I got this recipe from my sister, Arwa Almas. I just adapted it to my taste. You will need:

1) two small cans of gourmet solid tuna in either extra virgin olive oil [ or water]

2) half an onion [red or yellow] coarsely chopped

3) 3 tblp of finely chopped cilantro

4) 1 cup plain Greek yogurt. I whisk it so it’s nice and smooth

5) Salt to taste

6) Fresh ground pepper

7) 1 small FIRM Roma tomato

8) 1 green chilly pepper [less if you don’t like it spicy]

9) clove of garlic [optional]

10) Juice of half a lemon

In a blender, place ingredients 7 through 10 with 1 tblsp of cilantro. Blend well, will look like green chutney [condiment]. Place aside. Strain the oil or water from the cans of tuna. Arrange the tuna–in chunks– on a serving platter. Whisk the yogurt with a dash of salt, until it is nice and smooth. Layer on top of the tuna. Spoon the green chutney [condiment] on top evenly. Garnish with the rest of the cilantro. Serve with warm pita bread.
