Ocean instead of butcher: Tuna Moussaka
Our favorite restaurant just around the corner, Rhodos, is currently on vacation – naturally in Greece. We love eating moussaka there, and that’s what gave me the idea: why not try a version with tuna instead of meat? I was so impressed by the result that I firmly resolved to bring Chef Alex a portion of my tuna moussaka to taste once he returns. Until then, we’ll simply make do with this sunny vacation cuisine from our own oven. Mediterranean · Casserole · Breton reimagined Moussaka with white tuna 1 hr Total 30 min Baking 4 Port.
