BBQ'd Onions

These delicious BBQ'd Onions are now a regular! Serves 6

3 onions
salt
pepper
butter/olive oil
foil

Peal the onions and make a cross shaped deep cut in one end. Place in a piece of foil large enough to wrap around the onion easily. Season with salt and pepper onto the cross, and drizzle with generous olive oil/butter. Wrap up the onions nice and tight and throw into the BBQ coals (you can do this early on - no need to wait til the coals are white). You will hear the oil hiss as the onions cook. Turn them around periodically so they cook on all sides. Onions should be ready when they stop hissing - this should be around the time when your other food is ready too! Open up the foil and check the onion is soft in the middle and dark around the edges- if not return to the coals for a while longer. Serve directly from the foil. Delicious!

Mexican Chipotle Tuna

This is a lovely easy, tasty recipe. This is my version of Marlin al Chipotle - using tuna.

1 onion

2 garlic cloves
1 tin green olives
2 tomatoes
2 tins tuna
2 tsp chipotle chile sauce
1 tin tomatoes
1 tsp tomato paste
1 tbsp ketchup
coriander
tostadas or crusty bread

Chipotle



Tostadas




Chop the onion, garlic and fry in olive oil until soft. Add the chopped fresh tomatoes and roughly chopped olives, fry for a few minutes then add the tuna, chipotle sauce and tin of tomatoes. Mix well add tomato paste and ketchup. Cook on medium heat for 20-30 mins. The mixture should be juicy but not too liquid. Add coriander. Serve with tostadas (mexican toasted tortillas) or crusty white bread.
