Golden, crispy-edged tuna ‘meatballs’ bring a fresh twist to this vibrant summer stew recipe. They’re simmered with sweet peppers, creamy cannellini beans and a rich tomato and herb base. Light, colourful and packed with sunshine flavours, this is the kind of fuss-free dinner that’s sure to hit the spot on a warm evening. This dish can be frozen for up to 3 months – defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat in a covered saucepan until piping hot throughout.
