This recipe’s environmental sustainability level is: High.
To eat sustainably at each meal, our advice is to keep within 1000 grams of CO2 equivalence (carbon footprint) and 1000 litres of virtual water (water footprint). Remember that animal protein (meat, cheese, fish and eggs) have a greater impact than grains, beans, pulses and vegetables. Vegetable sides generally have a low environmental impact, equivalent to around 100 grams of CO2, including dressing.
Method
Mash the potatoes in a large bowl and add the drained tuna and the black olives, roughly chopped.
Add the oil, salt, anchovies, chopped parsley and an egg to bind it together. Mix well into a smooth mixture.
Coat the loaf with egg and then breadcrumbs made from sliced, crustless bread passed through a large sieve with a spatula.
Place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and bake for around 30 minutes.
When it is baked and golden coloured, set aside for a few minutes before serving.
The Chef’s Advice
Instead of a loaf, another option is to make a batch of small nuggets, which are especially popular with children.
Nutritional Advice
Instead of tuna, you can use tinned mackerel, which is packed with Omega 3 fatty acids and just as tasty.
Environmental Advice
Choose seasonal ingredients, local or traditional varieties.
Keeping our seas and oceans full of life is a goal we can all contribute to by exploring local options and look for sustainable fishing certifications, such as the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or the Marine Conservation Society (MCS).
