Boil the potatoes for 5 minutes and then peel them. Cut into cubes and sauté in a pan with a little oil and onion for 10 minutes. While the potatoes are cooking, cut the raw tuna into small cubes and dress with a little olive oil, some salt and thyme. When the potatoes are ready, crush them and the chopped onion in a bowl with a pestle. Add the raw tuna, the rest of the thyme, a little chopped parsley, salt and pepper. When you have mixed everything well, transfer to a chopping board and mould everything with your hands into a loaf shape. Then sprinkle the meatloaf with the breadcrumbs so that it’s well coated. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and brown the meatloaf on each side for 5 minutes. Serve with a reduction of balsamic vinegar.
