'At risk' groups such as infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and those who are unwell should avoid eating ready-to-eat, cold-smoked or cured fish. Therefore, this recipe is not suitable if this applies to you.
- This recipe also works well with flaked poached salmon in place of tuna.
- If you don't like anchovies, add a few finely sliced sundried tomatoes instead.
- You could make this with hard boiled quail's eggs, which are available ready cooked.
- Seared tuna isn’t to everyone’s taste and may not be suitable, so you might want to leave it on the griddle for longer, until it's cooked through.
