  • Peel and press the freshly boiled potatoes.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with yellow chili paste, some lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oil. Add these ingredients gradually, adjusting the seasoning as you go. And a little secret: you can add a generous spoonful of mayonnaise; it will enhance both the flavor and the texture of the dough.
  • For the filling, drain a couple of cans of D'Gussto tuna fillets. Add the chopped onion and season with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and a little mayonnaise.
  • To assemble the causa, spread a little oil on a rectangular baking dish and place a first layer of potato dough. Follow with a layer of sliced ​​avocado, another layer of tuna filling, and finish with a second layer of potato dough. Mayonnaise can be added between the first layer of potato and the avocado layer.
  • Decorate the causa to taste, with mayonnaise, chopped red pepper, chopped parsley, boiled eggs and olives.
  • Cut into portions and serve.

TIPS

  • If you have a little more time, pass the pressed potatoes through a sieve to make the potato mixture finer and smoother.
