    Ingredients

    • 2 x 400g tins peeled plum tomatoes, drained (reserve a little juice)
    • 200g ventresca bonito tuna, drained and broken into large flakes
    • ½ red onion, finely sliced
    • 3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
    • 100g black olives (preferably Aragón-style or Kalamata)
    • 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
    • 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • Sea salt to taste

    Introduction

    A traditional salad from Murcia made with sweet peeled tomatoes, rich ventresca tuna, hard-boiled eggs and black olives, dressed simply with sherry vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. For the best flavour, chill the tomatoes beforehand but serve the tuna at room temperature. The richness of the ventresca, sweetness of the tomatoes and sharpness of red onion create the perfect balance. Fresh, rustic and deeply satisfying, this is one of Spain’s great summer salads — perfect served with crusty bread to soak up the dressing.

    Method

    1. Drain the canned peeled plum tomatoes and gently tear them into large rustic pieces using your hands or a spoon. Place into a large mixing bowl and add a tablespoon or two of the reserved tomato juices for extra flavour.
    2. Add the sliced red onion and black olives to the tomatoes, gently tossing together.
    3. Drizzle over the sherry vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Season lightly with sea salt. Mix gently so the tomatoes keep their shape.
    4. Arrange the salad onto a serving platter or divide between four shallow bowls. Scatter over the ventresca bonito tuna in generous flakes and top with the quartered hard-boiled eggs.
    5. Leave the salad to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow the flavours to mingle. Finish with an extra drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
