How it works

- Cut the lettuce into strips and divide between plates.

Island knowledge
How the Mallorcans do it
'A la plancha' is Mallorca's favourite way to cook fish: on a very hot metal plate, briefly, with oil and salt. Good fish needs nothing more. Salut.
For children
For kids, cook the tuna through and cut it into cubes – with avocado and tomatoes.
