Europe 1 3:16 p.m., January 29, 2024

The cook Luana Belmondo is the guest of Laurent Mariotte. She says she was born in a pan. She spent her childhood in Italy lulled by the smell of tomato sauce simmering every morning... and today plays Mamma in her cookbooks. She is the one who makes the dish of the day. On the menu: lemons stuffed with tuna cream. A simple and inexpensive dish, like the name of his book. 

Lemons stuffed with tuna cream

Ingredients 

4 large lemons

50g pitted black olives

160g Canned tuna in oil

2 eggs

100g Mayonnaise

15g Capers

300g Basmati rice

1/2l Vegetable broth

1 clove of garlic

Parsley

Butter

Preparation

1. Place the eggs in a saucepan of cold water,

and cook them for 9 minutes. Chop the hard-boiled eggs.

2. Prepare the tuna cream.

Mix the tuna with the mayonnaise, capers,

olives, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable broth.

Reserve in a cool place.

3. Cut the base and top of the lemons; empty them

of their pulp and juice.

4. Stew the basmati rice. In a frying pan,

melt a knob of butter, add the garlic

shirt, then the rice. When the rice becomes translucent,

cover with vegetable stock and add a few

pieces of lemon pulp. Cover. The rice will be cooked

when all the water has evaporated.

5. Let cool, then mix the rice with the cream

tuna and hard-boiled eggs.

6. Stuff the lemons and decorate with leaves

parsley.
