Tuna Meatballs with Tomato Sauce - Polpette di tonno con salsa di pomodoro

★ 4.325 ratings

Sicilian cuisine is considered one of the healthiest in Italy with its emphasis on fresh seafood, like tuna and swordfish, and fresh vegetables and fruits like tomatoes, olives, citrus and artichokes. We’ve brought the vibrant flavours of Sicily to these unusual meatballs, which feature fresh tuna instead of the usual pork or beef. Typically tuna steaks are lightly seared on a barbecue or grill, however, they work really well prepared in this way and served with a deliciously rich tomato sauce.
