Who said Tuna salad had to be boring?
If you are like me a big fan of tuna salads I highly recommend trying this salad as a way to spruce up the humble and mundane tuna salad!
(I advise not having tuna more than 1-2 a week due to high mercury levels found in tuna)
This is my take on the "tomates Farcies" a french recipe of stuffed tomatoes cooked in the oven with veal mince as stuffing.
I found this stuffed tomato and tuna salad to be a great recipe for a light lunch in summer.
Ingredients: recipe for 2
- 2 tomatoes ( preferably organic or from the Farmers'market)
- 1 can of tuna in springwater;
- 2 teaspoons of Tahini;
- Fresh herbs ( parsley/ coriander)
- seeds (optional)
- spinach
Instructions:
- Wash tomatoes thoroughly;
- Cut the top of the tomato to keep the "hat";
- Empty tomato;
- Mix the tomato with tuna tahini,seeds and herbs;
- Fill tomato again with the "Farce";
- Put on a bed of spinach with olive oil and salt and pepper;
- Enjoy!
