Waves of folded paper are calling… come play! In Sea, Salt & Paper players create an origami seascape by assembling a tableau of ocean themed cards, some with special abilities, each with its own way to score. When you reach the limit, bet on yourself for a chance to grab a big lead or play it safe and bank your points. Be warned, though. Four mermaids could undo your best beachside plans.

The Meal with Paco Garcia-Reed Jaen

The Recipe: Sauteed Broccoli with Tuna Sauce

Tuna Sauce Ingredients
100 gr sunflower oil
100 gr tinned tuna in olive oil
2 teaspoons capers
1 anchovy
1 teaspoon vinegar
25gr water
1 egg yolk
1 pinch of salt

Sauteed broccoli Ingedients
15gr olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves, laminated
2-3 pinches cayenne pepper
400-500gr broccoli florets
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons laminated almonds

For the sauce:
Place 30-50gr tuna in a food processor
Add the capers and anchovy and blend for 3 seconds at high speed
Scrap the blend to the bottom and add the water, egg yolk, and the salt.
Turn the processor on at medium speed and, while it blends, add the sunflower oil very slowly so the whole thing emulsifies.
When you have added all the oil, stop the machine, let it rest for a minute and then blend it again for 10 seconds at medium speed.
Reserve the sauce

For the broccoli:
In a hot pan, add the broccoli, sliced garlic, cayenne pepper, olive oil and salt and saute the broccoli, stiring constantly for 10 minutes at high heat until it’s nice and golden.

To serve:
Pour the broccoli in a large dish and crumble the remaining tuna on it. Add the sauce and the almonds and mix well.

Challenge: Leave some for everyone else. It might be hard to achieve that, though!
