Today is the 7th and final day of the week for the Keto Diet. Let’s prepare today’s menu: for lunch natural tuna with a side dish (which we will prepare now) — total 10 g of carbohydrates. This single-course dish, cholesterol-free, has been specifically paired with a dinner based on pan-cooked veal liver to balance the percentages. But now let’s prepare our natural tuna, ready in no time like almost all keto recipes. Then we will include it in the Sunday Menu.
Here is the Saturday menu

Ingredients
- 2.5 oz tuna fillet (drained)
- 2 oz green olives (pitted)
- 3 oz zucchini (boiled or pan-cooked)
- 1.5 tbsp olive pâté (Taggiasca or another variety)
- 0.25 cup peas, canned, drained
- 1.5 tsp pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (I use the oil from our organic company; choose a quality one)
- 1.5 oz cherry tomatoes
Tools
Preparation
To prepare this simple and quick dish for the Sunday keto diet, first cook 3 oz of zucchini (boiled, steamed, or pan-cooked for those who prefer).
Regarding the peas, if you use the ready canned version (organic), simply drain them and weigh 1/4 cup; if you prefer fresh or frozen peas you will need to cook them.
Meanwhile, weigh 2.5 oz of natural tuna fillet (drained), then place it on a plate. Season it with 1 1/2 tbsp of Taggiasca olive pâté (in my opinion they have a wonderful flavor that pairs perfectly with tuna, but you can substitute a lighter olive pâté such as green olive pâté).
On the plate with the tuna also add 2 oz of pitted green olives + the cooked zucchini + the peas and a few cherry tomatoes. Dress everything with 1 tbsp of high-quality olive oil and pumpkin seeds.
The single-course keto lunch is ready. Macronutrient contribution: carbohydrates 10 g – protein 28.9 g – fats 31.3 g (calories 436)
