    Tomatoes Stuffed w/Tuna, Capers, & Herbs


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    6 medium firm but ripe red tomatoes
    Coarse salt
    2 tablespoons drained capers
    1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
    2/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
    1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    2 (5-ounce) cans Italian tuna packed in oil, drained
    Salt and freshly ground pepper

    Recipe



    Cut a 3/4-inch slice off the stem end of each tomato; reserve the tops. With a spoon, carefully scoop out the pulp and discard. Sprinkle the inside of the tomatoes with salt and place the tomatoes upside down on paper towels to drain for 1 hour.

    In a medium bowl, mix together the capers, pine nuts, parsley, oregano, olive oil, and lemon juice. Add the flaked tuna and mix together gently. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Sprinkle the inside of the tomatoes with pepper. Distribute the tuna evenly among them, cover with the reserved tops, and serve.

    NOTE: These can be made several hours in advance and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving.

    Makes 6 servings.
