Savory loaf called cake salé are classic homecooking treats in France, flovored with all kind of ingredients. We love it with tuna.
I always have tuna cans in my panty. You newer know, if I don’t have many groceries left, or if I’m lazy or don’t have enough time to cook, I can always make something with tuna. Either serve it as it is, jus drained with raw vegetables for a mixed salad. Combine it with cream cheese to make a dip.
Or prepare a cake salé as we all it in France. Cake in French don’t mean sweet cake as in English but loaf, the rectangular shape of the mold you use. So we do savory (salé) loafs = cake salé or sweet loafs.
