Pumpkin and Tuna Braid
One of the plates that look really good in the table at lunch, dinner or a party with family or friends is the pumpkin and tuna braid cooked plate. It has a really good presentation in the table plus it is delicious and most of all nutritious. I remember the first time that I cooked for a Christmas party with family which is a really special occasion to be together with all. I prepared the plate with 1 to 2 days of anticipation and put in the freezer due as you know when we have an special event, there are many things to do and prepare before the event or party. Therefore I was not stressed due I prepared this easy, tasty and pretty good at view, with anticipation, and when the event day arrive, I just take out from freezer and heat in oven just before eating time. I remember that my family liked it a lot due although is a stew it feels good to the stomach like not heavy plate. Let’s try and prepare this recipe together.
The will look very nice at the table in parties of the month of December or also for Thanksgiving Day seasons in which the tables of homes are filled with succulent dishes to share and enjoy with loved ones.
