Recipe: Tuna in a Tomato (with lemon, parsley and capers)

TUNA IN A TOMATO

6 large tomatoes
3 cans (6 ounce) water-packed tuna, drained
3 tablespoons capers, roughly chopped
1 cup fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley, roughly chopped
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

With a paring knife, cut out and discard the stem of each tomato. Using a spoon, hollow out the tomatoes, leaving each with a 1/4-inch shell, and transfer the pulp to a medium bowl.

Add the tuna, capers, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil and black pepper to the tomato pulp and toss gently. Spoon the mixture back into the tomatoes and serve.
