Free Healthy Recipe - Steamed Fish Balls with Bean and Tuna Sauce

Dairy free, Low carbohydrate, Low fat, Low GI, Wheat Free

Steaming this fish in a blend of coriander and lemon zest gives these fish balls a clean fresh taste.
The bean and tuna sauce is a variation on the Italian tonnato sauce, made with tuna and mayonnaise. While a traditional tonnato is delicious it is high in kilojoules. Blending tuna with cannelini beans creates a low fat, low GI and high fibre sauce that's equally delicious served as a dip with crudités.

Ingredients

Fish Balls:

700 grams white fish

2 cloves garlic

1 tbsp coriander, chopped

1 tsp lemon zest

Bean and Tuna Sauce:

1 400 gram can organic cannellini beans

1 95 gram can tuna, drained

½ lemon juiced

1 tbsp capers, rinsed

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

black pepper

2 bunches English spinach

Method

Combine the fish, garlic, coriander, and lemon zest in a food processor. Using your hands mould the mixture into small balls and place in a steamer to steam for 7 minutes.

To make the sauce, blend all the ingredients together in a food processor until smooth. Steam the spinach. Serve the fish balls over steamed spinach with the accompanying sauce.

Note: Capers are a low kilojoule pickle which can help stimulate the production of salivary enzymes and aid digestion. To reduce the amount of salt thoroughly rinse them before eating.
