1
- Preheat the oven to 220°C and boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan.
- Halve the carrots lengthways, or cut any larger ones into quarters.
- Boil the carrots for 5 minutes, covered, then drain and set aside.
- In the meantime, chop the onion. Drain the tuna.
2
- Transfer the carrots and the onion to a parchment-lined baking sheet (see Tip).
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine the tuna with the mayonnaise and the white wine vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Tip: if preferred, roast the onions separately or fry them.
3
- Heat the pitas in the oven for 5 minutes (or use a toaster).
- Roughly chop the hazelnuts.
- Heat a clean frying pan over high heat. Toast the hazelnuts until evenly browned, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Toast the desiccated coconut in the same pan until golden-brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4
- Dice the cucumber and the tomato.
- Serve all the elements separately at the table: the vegetables, hazelnuts, desiccated coconut, tuna salad and pitas.
- Allow everyone to build their own pitas as preferred.
