Categories     easy, for one, quick, roasts

Time 15m

Yield 1 generous serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium size or large red bell pepper
1 garlic clove
Pinch of salt
1 anchovy fillet, soaked in water to cover for 10 to 15 minutes, then drained, rinsed and patted dry (optional but recommended)
1 teaspoon capers, rinsed
1 5-oz. can water-packed tuna or olive oil-packed tuna, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (omit if using olive oil-packed tuna)
1 tablespoon plain low-fat yogurt (more to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Roast the pepper directly over a gas burner or under the broiler, turning often until uniformly charred. Remove from the heat, and place in a bowl. Cover tightly, and allow to cool.
  • While you're waiting for the pepper to cool, make the tuna filling. Combine the garlic and a generous pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste. Add the anchovy, if using, and mash with the garlic. Add the capers, and mash together. In a bowl, break up the tuna with a fork, then stir in the garlic mixture, the lemon juice, olive oil and the yogurt. Add more yogurt or olive oil if the mixture seems dry. Season to taste with pepper (it should not need salt), and stir in the parsley.
  • When the pepper is cool enough to handle, peel and discard the blackened skin, rinse briefly and pat dry. Cut away the top, then cut or pull apart the pepper into thirds. Remove seeds and membranes, holding the pepper over a bowl so that you can catch any juice. Lay the pepper pieces on a plate. Season with a little salt and pepper if desired, and fill with the tuna mixture. Serve.

In this article, we will provide tips on how to make beautiful and delicious stuffed picnic recipes, including tuna and artichoke stuffed tomatoes, red pepper and feta stuffed zucchini, and nut and brown sugar stuffed macintosh apples. Tuna and Artichoke Stuffed Tomatoes Stuffed tomatoes are typically the perfect summer recipe that you can make in no time, and they are perfect to have on a picnic. Tuna and artichoke stuffed tomatoes, for instance, are not only delicious, but they are also healthy, and they make a great protein dish. To make them, you require a few ingredients, including canned or fresh tuna, artichokes, cherry or grape tomatoes, and olive oil. Here are some tips to consider when making this recipe. 1. Use a sharp, serrated knife to slice the tomatoes. The serrated knife will cut through the skin smoothly, without squishing the tomato's internal flesh. 2. Remove the tomato's core and seeds to create a cavity where you will fill the stuffing. 3. Drain the canned tuna or dry the fresh tuna with a paper towel before mixing it with the other ingredients. 4. If the artichokes are canned, make sure to drain and rinse them to remove excess salt and any other preservatives. 5. When mixing the tuna and artichokes, add the olive oil gradually, to avoid making the stuffing too moist. The stuffing mixture should be crumbly, and not too wet. 6. Stuff the tomatoes with a tablespoon, and press the stuffing down gently to create a neat and appealing top. Red Pepper and Feta Stuffed Zucchini Red pepper and feta stuffed zucchini serve as the perfect vegetarian option for a picnic. It is a simple recipe that you can make in less than 20 minutes, and all you require are a few ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store. Here are some tips to follow when preparing red pepper and feta stuffed zucchini. 1. Cut the zucchini evenly in half, lengthwise, using a sharp knife. Make sure not to cut too deep, as you don't want to puncture the zucchini shell. 2. Use a spoon to scoop out the center of the zucchini, leaving a sizeable cavity. 3. When making the stuffing, crumble the feta cheese and mix it gently with the other ingredients using a fork. 4. Make use of fresh herbs like thyme, basil, or parsley to add more flavor to the stuffing. 5. Roast the red bell pepper in the oven before adding it to the stuffing mixture. This will give it a smoky flavor and soften it. 6. When stuffing the zucchinis, make sure not to overfill them as the stuffing will expand during cooking. Nut and Brown Sugar Stuffed Macintosh Apples Macintosh apples are a particular variety of apples commonly used in making pies and cakes because of their sweetness and tanginess. However, this variety of apple also makes a great picnic recipe. Nut and brown sugar stuffed macintosh apples serve as a great dessert option, especially if you are tired of the usual cakes and brownies. Here are tips to consider when making nut and brown sugar stuffed macintosh apples. 1. Cut off the tops of the apples, and then use a paring knife to remove the core. Make sure not to pierce the bottom of the apple to prevent the stuffing from dripping out. 2. Use nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds in the stuffing mixture, and make sure to chop them finely. Nut chunks will make the stuffing lumpy and challenging to fill. 3. Use brown sugar in the stuffing mixture, as it will add a caramel-like sweetness to the apples. 4. Spice up the stuffing mixture by adding cinnamon, nutmeg or allspice. These spices will add more depth to the filling. 5. Melt the butter on low heat, to prevent it from burning, and then mix it thoroughly with the stuffing mixture. 6. Stuff the apples gently, making sure not to overstuff them, and cover with a new apple top. Bake until they are soft to the touch. Conclusion Stuffed picnic recipes are perfect for outdoor gatherings with friends and family. They allow you to come up with unique and exciting creations that everyone can enjoy. Making stuffed picnic recipes is not complicated, as long as you have the right equipment and follow the tips above.
