Here’s another quick and delicious tapas side dish to server with your favorite glass of Spanish sherry. This can be made in about 5 minutes entirely from pantry items, so no excuse not to show off a little next time someone drops in unexpectedly in the evening. You could also take this to the proper level and do it all from scratch. It woudl certainly taste fresher and more vibrant, but it will take longer than 5 minutes. Despite the ready-made ingredients, this is quite tasty.
Garlicky Tuna-Potato Salad
makes about 1.5 cups
50 g instant mashed potatoes
150 ml hot water
50 ml milk
1 can tuna, drained
1 tsp garlic chips, crushed

salt & pepper to taste
Prepare the potatoes by combining with hot water. Add milk and stir until smooth. Mix in the remaining ingredients. Season to taste. Serve on toasted bread or in small dishes as an appetizer.

You know? Potato salad and YUZU-kosyou tastes wonderful! My family are into YUZU-kosyou!
Meiko: I saw on your diary that your friend is making yuzu-koshou. My yuzu-kosho is almost finished; I’ll have to get some more soon.
[For those who may not know, yuzu-kosho is a tart and spicy citrus (yuzu) pepper (kosho) paste that’s delicious in soups, stews and all sorts of savory dishes]
