2 servings
60 minutes
Fried pancakes in the Tikhoretsk style with tuna and mozzarella are an exquisite symbiosis of Russian cuisine with light Mediterranean notes. Tender tuna fillet fried in aromatic sesame seeds harmoniously combines with the softness of mozzarella, creating a wonderful balance of textures and flavors. The addition of garlic and fresh tomatoes gives the dish a rich and appetizing aroma, while the breading and frying in butter make the pancakes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This dish is perfect for a refined breakfast, a cozy family dinner, or an original appetizer for guests. Hot, golden-brown, and hearty, they are served on a fresh bed of tomatoes, adding freshness and a slight tang to the dish. Each serving is a small gastronomic journey with enchanting flavor.
