BAKED TUNISIAN CARROT, POTATO AND TUNA FRITTATA

Baked Tunisian Carrot, Potato and Tuna Frittata image

Tunisians often add tuna to their frittatas. I've tried this one with both tuna packed in olive oil and in water, and find that the tuna packed in water becomes too dry when the omelet bakes.

Ingredients

1/2 pound potatoes, peeled and cut in small dice (about 1/2 inch)
3/4 pound carrots, peeled and cut in small dice (about 1/2 inch)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, mashed with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle or finely chopped
2 teaspoons caraway seeds, ground
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon harissa dissolved in 2 tablespoons water, or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (to taste)
1 6-ounce can of olive oil-packed light tuna (not albacore), drained and broken up with a fork
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Place the oil in a 2-quart baking dish or a 9-inch cast iron skillet. Rub the oil over the sides of the pan, and place in the oven. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in garlic, caraway, salt (about 1/2 teaspoon) and pepper to taste and harissa. Stir in the potatoes, carrots, tuna and parsley. Remove the baking dish from the oven, scrape the egg mixture into the hot baking dish and place in the oven.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons mirin
2 teaspoons white miso
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/3 cup carrot juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

3 tablespoons unhulled white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon unhulled black sesame seeds
1 pound sushi-grade yellowfin tuna, cut into 4-ounce rectangular pieces

Steps:

Make the dipping sauce: Combine mirin, miso, ginger, carrot juice, orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar, red-pepper flakes, and sesame oil in a small bowl, whisking until miso dissolves. Sprinkle with sliced scallion.
Make the tuna: Combine sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Press tuna pieces into seeds, turning to coat each side. Heat oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add tuna, and cook each side until white seeds are golden, about 20 seconds per side. Transfer tuna to a paper-towel-lined plate for 1 minute, then cut each piece into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Serve with dipping sauce.
