Ingredients
185g MSC-certified canned tuna chunks (in extra virgin olive oil)
40g garlic, diced
40g shallots, diced
4 pieces kaffir lime leaves, finely sliced
3g lemongrass, finely sliced

40g shallots, diced
4 pieces kaffir lime leaves, finely sliced
3g lemongrass, finely sliced
1 egg

Method
- Finely dice the garlic and shallots, then portion out 10g of the garlic to be used later. In a pan, heat some oil over medium heat, add the chopped garlic (30g) and shallots, and stir-fry until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
- Place the MSC-certified tuna chunks into a mixing bowl, along with the fried garlic and shallots, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, 1 egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently mix to incorporate all the ingredients, ensuring not to over-mash the tuna. Taste a small piece of the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
- Roll the mixture into small balls and press them onto the remaining diced garlic. Place them into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are evenly separated.
- Then smash a handful of skin-on garlic cloves and scatter them on top.
- Spray or brush some oil over the tuna nuggets and air fry at 160°C for 10 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned.
- Once ready, plate the tuna nuggets along with the roasted garlic and serve.
