Maria Tuna in Light Brine with Thyme & Lemon
Maria brings a bright Mediterranean touch to their tuna by pairing the clean, delicate flavour of fish preserved in light brine with the subtle lift of thyme-lemon. The result is a tin that feels fresh and aromatic, letting the natural quality of the tuna shine while adding just enough seasoning to inspire easy, elegant meals.
Serving suggestions:
This tin is perfect for a quick Niçoise-inspired salad with green beans, olives, and soft-boiled eggs. It also works beautifully tossed through warm pasta with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, capers, and cherry tomatoes. For a lighter option, pile it onto grilled sourdough with a swipe of aioli and rocket for a simple open sandwich.
Wine pairings:
International: A crisp Muscadet Sèvre et Maine from the Loire Valley is a natural partner, offering citrus and saline notes that echo the lemon and brine while refreshing the palate.
Common in Australia: A lively Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc brings bright acidity, citrus, and herbal lift, complementing both the thyme and the clean tuna flavour.
