Ingredients
- 6 pieces medium ripe tomatoes
- 200 grams canned tuna
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 8 pieces black olives (pitted and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, slice the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the seeds and pulp with a spoon, being careful not to puncture the sides. Sprinkle a little salt inside each tomato, then place them upside down on a plate to drain while you prepare the filling.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), mayonnaise, capers, chopped black olives, and chopped parsley.
Step 4
Drizzle the mixture with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 5
Turn the tomatoes upright and gently stuff them with the prepared filling. Pack the filling slightly to ensure it stays in place but avoid overstuffing.
Step 6
Arrange the stuffed tomatoes on a serving platter. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a cold appetizer or tapas. Enjoy!
