Ingredients
- 4 ripe tomatoes
- salt
- 2 5-ounce cans tuna packed in olive oil
- 1 large handful fresh parsley leaves
- 4 scallions
- 3 tablespoons really good extra-virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1/2-1 lemon
- pepper
- 1 hard-boiled egg
Directions
- Slice off the top quarter of each tomato. Use a small spoon to carefully scoop out and discard the interior pulp without piercing the tomato walls. Sprinkle the inside of each tomato with a pinch of salt, then turn the tomatoes upside down on a paper towel to drain.
- Put the tuna in a medium bowl, flaking it with your fingers or a fork. Fold in the parsley, scallions, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the hard-boiled egg, mixing gently. Fill each tomato with some of the tuna salad. Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil before serving.
