Ingredients:

  • 4 vine-ripe tomatoes (about 1 pound)
  • 1 (12-ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon capers
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds.
  3. Combine the tuna, celery, onion, bell pepper, mayonnaise, mustard, capers, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  4. Spoon the tuna mixture into the tomato halves.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and the tuna is heated through.

Tips for Making It Better:

  • Use fresh herbs for enhanced flavor: Replace dried oregano with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh oregano.
  • Add a touch of acidity: Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white wine vinegar to the tuna mixture for a tangy twist.
  • Enhance the richness: Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese to the tuna mixture before baking.
  • Create a crispy topping: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of bread crumbs over the tomatoes before baking to create a golden-brown crust.
  • Add a flavorful sauce: Serve the tuna-stuffed tomatoes with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
  • Vary the vegetables: Experiment with different vegetables in the tuna mixture, such as diced carrots, zucchini, or olives.
  • Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the tuna mixture for a spicy kick.
  • Add a bit of sweetness: Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the tuna mixture for a touch of sweetness.
  • Use different types of fish: Substitute tuna with canned salmon, mackerel, or sardines for a variety of flavors.
  • Try a different stuffing: Instead of tuna, try stuffing the tomatoes with a mixture of cooked quinoa, vegetables, and beans.
