Tuna and Olive Loaf

This Tuna and Olive Loaf is a great change from a tuna and olive sandwich. Serve it with a salad or a little dollop of Creme Fraiche.

Tuna and Olive Loaf

This tuna and olive loaf offers a delightful and complex flavour profile. The rich, savoury taste of tuna is complemented by the briny, slightly tangy flavour of olives. The loaf is often enhanced with aromatic herbs, adding a fresh, earthy note. The texture is moist and tender, with occasional bursts of salty, flavorful olives. This combination results in a savoury loaf that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a meal.

Tips: Instead of using olives and fetta, try different cheeses such as goat’s cheese or even sun-dried tomatoes. Be careful not to overwork the batter. You can also freeze the unused portion of the loaf.

Did you know: Tuna is a highly nutritious fish that offers several health benefits. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle growth and repair. Tuna is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health by reducing cholesterol levels, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing the risk of heart disease. Additionally, it contains important vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, vitamin B12, and selenium, which support immune function, energy production, and thyroid health. Tuna also provides antioxidants that help protect cells from damage, contributing to overall well-being. Its low calorie and fat content make it a great choice for maintaining a healthy weight.

Olives offer a range of health benefits due to their rich nutritional profile. They are a good source of healthy monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which can help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of heart disease. Olives are also packed with antioxidants, such as vitamin E and polyphenols, which protect cells from oxidative stress and support overall immune health. Additionally, they contain important minerals like iron and copper, essential for blood health and enzyme function. The fibre content in olives aids digestion and promotes gut health.
