Instructions

  • Take a firm plum tomato (firm is key, can’t be too ripe and mushy), and cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and membrane so you are left with a boat. Combine some good quality tuna with some homemade mayo (recipe in link above) and dash of pepper and then add your tuna to your tomato boats. Top with a sliver of anchovy and a couple of capers.
