Hooray for days off! I forced myself to sleep in past 5am, but I couldn't force my stomach to do the same. When the rumbling of my belly finally succeeded in pulling me out of bed I was immediately drawn to the fresh tomatoes I had been gifted the day before. I had a mad hankering for some sort of lean protein. Much to my relief I still had some tuna in the pantry! Woohoo! I feel like I had seen a similar idea months ago but couldn't remember where and wasn't about to start looking. So, here is my impromptu rendition of "Tuna Stuffed Garden Tomatoes"....for breakfast - because why not?
Shout out to Marilyn for the tomatoes and dainty serving bowl! :)
Ingredients
Tomatoes
Canned tuna
Mayonnaise
Finely diced white onion
Capers
Dill (fresh or dried)
Salt (if desired)
I did not include any amounts in this recipe because everything is pretty much "to taste". You can't really screw this one up, and it would make a lovely appetizer for your next party!
Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes and You
1. Start by gently hollowing out your tomatoes with a spoon. Set cores aside so you can sprinkle salt over them and snack on them as you make this recipe ;)
2. Mix together tuna, mayonnaise, onion, capers, dill, and a very light amount of salt. With a spoon, stuff the mixture into the hollowed out tomatoes.
3. This step is not necessary, but it does take the dish to the next level. Chill in the refrigerator for one hour, then garnish with dill and serve.
