Stuffed Peppers With Tuna Recipes

Steps:

• Slice red pepper in half and remove seeds.
• Fill each half with equal amounts of tuna.
• sprinkle almonds on top of tuna.
• Spread on salsa.
• Cover each pepper with 2 slices of cheese.
• Enjoy!
• You can also heat them up in the microwave until they are warm.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, toss together the tuna, chopped parsley, scallions, olive oil, capers, mustard and chipotles. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Cut a slit in each of the roasted piquillo peppers and remove any excess juice from the inside. Carefully stuff the peppers with the tuna mixture until the pepper looks full. Garnish with parsley leaves.

Steps:

• Drain the tuna and put it in a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to break tuna into large flakes and push to one side of the bowl.
• Put capers, parsley, mint, celery and onions on the other side of the bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add red-pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil, then stir the mixture to coat tuna well.
• Use a teaspoon to fill each pepper with some of the tuna mixture.
• Arrange stuffed peppers on lettuce leaves on a platter. Garnish with quartered or halved hard-cooked eggs sprinkled with salt. Serve at cool room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss peppers with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Roast, stirring once or twice, until peppers are tender, 15 to 22 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, in a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add bulgur and toast, stirring, until it smells nutty, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt, and sauté until tomato paste darkens, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in stock or water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until bulgur is soft all the way through, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain off any remaining liquid and set aside to cool.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and heat until shimmering. Add celery and sauté until just beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add onion, green bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic and anchovies (if using). Sauté until vegetables are just tender but not soft (a little texture is welcome), 4 to 6 minutes. If mixture begins to stick to the bottom of the pan, add a tablespoon or two of water. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool.
• Put tuna in a large bowl and use a fork to break into chunks. Add remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons oil, mayonnaise (or yogurt) and lemon juice and mash until tuna is broken into small flakes. Mix in onion-celery mixture, bulgur, herbs and capers and stir well. Taste and add more salt, pepper and/or lemon juice as needed.
• Make a slit lengthwise down each pepper to open it up. Stuff the bulgur mixture into the open peppers, then pinch the peppers so that the stuffing holds the two sides together. (It's O.K. if the peppers aren't completely closed.) Arrange on a platter, sprinkle with lemon juice and garnish with herbs. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Place peppers in medium bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover peppers; let stand 10 min. or until peppers are tender. Drain peppers; cool.
• Meanwhile, heat dressing in medium skillet. Add tomatoes, onions and 3/4 cup parsley; cook 5 min. Stir in tuna; cook 15 min. or until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Stir in remaining parsley.
• Make lengthwise cut in side of each of 6 peppers; remove and discard seeds. Fill peppers with tuna mixture. Remove stems and seeds from remaining peppers; place in blender. Add sour cream; blend until smooth. Spoon over stuffed peppers.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Heat dressing in large skillet on medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir 3 min. or until crisp-tender. Stir in tomatoes; cook 3 min. Stir in tuna; simmer on medium-low heat 5 min. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro.
• Fill chiles with tuna mixture; place, cut sides up, on rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Top with cheese; cover.
• Bake 20 min. or until peppers are heated through and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F
• Rub the peppers all over with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with ½ teaspoon salt and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Roast for 30 minutes or so, turning the peppers occasionally, until their skins are wrinkled and slightly charred.
• Let the peppers cool completely.
• Slice in half (through the stem end), discard the stem, peel off the skin and slice the halves lengthwise into strips 2-inches wide.
• Scrape the seeds from the strips and lay them in a sieve to drain and dry.
• To make the stuffing, drain the tuna, and break it into flakes in a medium-size bowl.
• One at a time, mix the seasonings into the tuna with a fork: chopped anchovies, capers, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, parsley, 2 tablespoons olive oil and about ½ teaspoon salt.
• Stir vigorously, breaking up lumps of fish, until the stuffing is soft and fairly smooth.
• Add more of any seasoning to taste.
• Drop a scant tablespoon of stuffing at one end of each roast pepper strip and roll it up snug, creating a neat cylinder.
• Press the pepper as you wrap so it adheres to itself and stays closed.
• To serve, arrange all the rolls on a platter, drizzle a bit more olive oil all over and sprinkle lightly with coarse salt.
