Tomatoes Stuffed with Tuna
Recipe By :Irena Chalmers
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Appetizers
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon fresh basil
or
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
6 medium tomatoes
2 cans tuna pack in oil
-- (7 ounce each)
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons capers
6 parsley sprigs
Combine the basil, salt, pepper, and sugar in a small bowl.
Cut a very thin slice from the bottom of each tomato so that it will sit upright on the plate. Cut a thicker slice from the stem end and scoop out the seeds and some of the pulp. Sprinkle each tomato with a pinch of the seasoning mixture and turn them upside down on paper towels to drain for at least 15 minutes.
Combine the tuna with the mayonnaise and the capers. Spoon the mixture into the drained tomatoes and garnish each with a sprig of parsley.
Judi's notes: It is always preferable to use fresh basil to dried. It is available all year long in most markets.
If you have company that is unexpected and a few extra tomatoes, you can stretch this dish by adding a little cooked rice to it. Also you can substitute small little shrimp for the tuna.
