Tuna cutlets: the recipe for an easy and tasty second course

Drain the cutlets from the egg and roll them in the breadcrumbs, turning them several times so that they are well breaded on all sides11.

Step 12

Heat the extra virgin olive oil and, once it reaches temperature, you can test it by dipping a pinch of breadcrumbs into the oil: if it immediately returns to the surface forming bubbles, it means it has the right temperature. Gently place the tuna cutlets in the pot12.

Step 13

Bubbles will form around the cutlets, cook for a few minutes13.

Step 14

Turn the cutlets using a slotted spoon and a spoon14.

Step 15

Cook the tuna cutlets on both sides until they take on a nice golden colour15. Drain the tuna cutlets on a plate with kitchen paper.

Step 16

Arrange the tuna cutlets on a tray and serve immediately on the table, accompanied by a green salad and a sauce of your choice16.
