QUICHÉ DE ATUN {TUNA QUICHE}

1. I´m very lucky to have a friend in Panama. We knew each other through an online course and some months later I had the pleasure to welcome her and her in-laws in San Sebastián. I follow her since then and admire her work because besides of being a wonderful mother of two, she´s a fantastic illustrator who has written a couple of cook books that I already have in my house. One is called "Life is messy kitchen" written in English and the other one written last year and the title is "Sobreviviendo la 40tena".

1. This Tuna quiche is from her book and it was really good and almost vegetarian.
