A pretty boring name for a dish if you ask me..but don't let the name fool you. This one is actually not bad. It's easy to make (once you figure out a sub for borlotti beans...I used pinto beans after phoning my sister who turned out to be camping in Northern Ontario at the time) and it's a great protein dish to have with a salad. It's not incredibly flavourful but the lemon juice and the red onion add some much needed zip.
I have to tell I really did kinda botch this one because I not only used half the amount of beans I was supposed to I also bought a mediocre tuna when Nigella specifically says "use a best quality canned tuna". Oops! I messed up with the beans by missing that fact that I needed 2 cans and I only purchased one. Maybe it was because I was getting tired but I decided F*#k it. I'm still making it as if I had them all. Then I realized when I was opening my Tuna cans that they were not chunk light tuna in oil (as I usually get) but flake light tuna in water...sigh. The only thing this tuna had going for it was that it's dolphin friendly...so I take solace in that. All this conundrum aside the dish is actually decent. I'm taking it for my lunch tomorrow as a compliment to my garden salad and I'm quite looking forward to it. If your looking for a new protein rich snack or side dish this will suit you nicely.
