Tuna, pea and buckwheat salad
Often it’s the days when there’s no food in the house that the best recipes are created. Like this one. Thank you tinned tuna, buckwheat and frozen peas for being there today when nothing else was – proving the importance of a well-stocked storecupboard and freezer. With the addition of some fresh broccoli we managed to find, this turned out to be a lovely little meal.
Buckwheat is a really great protein- and fibre-rich seed with a nutty flavour we love. Bulgur wheat or brown rice would also work well here.
