Categories     Tuna

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (6 ounce) cans tuna packed in oil
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 green olives, chopped
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1 fresh mild green pepper, minced
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large zucchini
2 small tomatoes, sliced
1 1/2 cups cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Slice the zucchini into diagonal 'coins'.
  • Saute zucchini in a single layer in a saute pan with a little bit of oil until they begin to brown, then turn over and brown the other side a little (this is to both heat them and eliminate a little of the moisture in them).
  • Mix drained tuna with parsley, olives, green onions, mayonnaise and mustard (you can swap out ingredients here--try pickled red peppers, capers, celery, brown onion, swap out different peppers for greater or lesser heat--whatever you have on hand).
  • Arrange zucchini in small piles on a foil lined baking sheet: I used 4-5 pieces per pile and just slightly overlapped their edges.
  • Mound tuna onto zucchini bases.
  • Cover each tuna-zucchini mound with a few slices of tomato and then sprinkle with cheese.
  • Place under a broiler until cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
