Tuna-Red Kidney Beans Salad with Quail Eggs

The inspiration for our first recipe is canned tuna, one of my favorite delicacies. Although I could eat boiled quail eggs, I have never tasted this delicacy. My owner didn’t dare to give it to me either because you never know what my sensitive stomach would say to it. In return, he told me that he had bought me wet cat food, which also contains so special eggs.

Being a curious Maine Coon, I immediately started getting to know these oddly shaped balls from a cat’s eye. My owner wasn’t even surprised by this, and like so many other things, I saw these strange things as cat toys.

Tirus was soon delighted with his new cat toys - He immediately started playing with the quail eggs — I was soon delighted with my new cat toys – I immediately started playing with the quail eggs

Ingredients (for 2 people)

18 quail eggs (can also be prepared with chicken eggs)
1 can of tuna (160 g)
1 can of red kidney beans (410 g)
1 large onion
2 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper to taste
20% food vinegar

Step-by-Step Instructions

Wash the quail eggs and put them in a bowl. Pour water on the eggs to cover them, then mix 0.5 dl 20% food vinegar into the water.
Let the eggs in this vinegar water mixture for 15 minutes, then rub the stained pattern off their shell by hand.

Boil the eggs in lightly salted, boiling water for 4 minutes. After that, immediately pour the hot water off them and soak them in cold water for 1 minute.
Peel the eggs likewise chicken eggs, then cut them in half lengthwise.
Peel the onion and cut it into thin slices.
Peel the garlic cloves and thinly slice them.
Drain the canned beans, and mix them with the sliced onion and garlic. Season everything with salt and pepper to taste. (You should taste the canned tuna beforehand to see how salty it is.)
Place the onion-bean mixture on a large plate, then pile the canned tuna in the middle. Decorate the edge of the plate with the halved boiled eggs.
Serve with toasted bread.
