Bonito in canned oil

Today we are going with a super super super but super easy and delicious recipe: bonito in canned oil. That is, we are going to prepare our own canned tuna in oil. We recommend it 100% because it is a super easy recipe, totally homemade, delicious and very helpful. When we find the bonito on sale or in season, it is worth buying it and, if you are not going to spend it all at the moment, you can freeze it or make preparations like this one today.

It is such an easy recipe that it will only take 15 minutes in preparing it. It is as simple as chopping the bonito, cooking it and putting it in cans. Cover it well with olive oil and we either consume it like this in about 5 days as you like (salads, montaditos, with potatoes...) or we put it on the bain-marie for canning May it last longer. We take this opportunity to leave you a good article on how to make preserves and how to make a bain-marie: https://www.thermorecetas.com/articles/how-to-pasteurize-and-conserve-al-vacuum/

Ingredients

• 500 g of bonito in large pieces, well cleaned of bones and skin
• 1 liter of water
• 100 g of salt
• extra virgin olive oil
• 1 hoja de laurel

Preparation

1. In a large pot, bring the water, salt and bay leaf to a boil.

2. When the water boils, add the tuna and let it cook 10 minutes. Drain well and dry with absorbent paper.

3. In some canned jars we put a splash of oil in the bottom and we are placing the pieces of tuna very well placed (the largest on the outside and the smallest to fill the gaps). Cover completely with olive oil and close the jars well.

4. Once the boats are made we can:

   • Keep it in the fridge 3-5 days and consume it.
   • put them to water bath so that we can preserve them for several weeks: https://www.thermorecetas.com/articles/how-to-pasteurize-and-conserve-al-vacuum/
