Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients and directions for this recipe
1/2 md Red onion; cut 1/4" slices
1 ts Olive oil; plus
1 tb Olive oil
2 ts Salt; to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper;
-to taste
8 Fingerling potatoes
Or other small potatoes -;
-(abt 1/2 oz ea)
6 Beefsteak tomatoes -; (12 oz
-ea)
1/4 c Capers; rinsed
4 oz Arugula; chopped
4 ts Black olive paste
1/4 c Nicoise olives; halved
1 ts Fresh lemon juice
1 ts Balsamic vinegar
2 cn White tuna in oil - (6-oz
-ea); drained
Heat grill to medium hot. Brush the onions with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and
sprinkle to taste with salt and pepper. Cook on the grill until soft and
golden, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from grill, and let cool. If you
don't have a grill, cook onions under a hot broiler. Meanwhile, fill a
medium saucepan with cold water, and add salt and potatoes. Set pot over
high heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until potatoes are fork
tender, 10 to 14 minutes. Drain potatoes, let stand until cool enough to
handle, and rub off as much skin as possible. Trace a circle with the point
of a knife extending about 1 inch beyond edges of tomato core. Using a
sharp knife held on a diagonal, cut along circle, removing core in one
cone-shaped piece; discard. Slice the potatoes into long halves or
quarters, depending on size and type used. Combine the onions, potatoes,
capers, arugula, olive paste, olives, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice,
and balsamic vinegar in a large mixing bowl; toss. Crumble in the tuna, and
toss gently. Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Season the
cavity of each tomato with salt and pepper. Fill each tomato with tuna
mixture. These will hold well at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
Makes 6 servings.
