  • Drain the water or olive oil from the tuna. If using tuna in olive oil, keep the oil apart. In a mixing bowl, combine tuna, onions, olives, zucchini and sour cream and mix well. Add more sour cream if the mixture is too dry. Add salt, pepper and dried basil to taste.

Notities

  • The tuna stuffed peppers can be served as finger food at a dinner party or on a plate as a starter. Count about 5 mini pepper halves as a starter dish or 2-3 mini peppers per person as finger food on an appetizer platter.
  • All colours of peppers will work; green, yellow, orange and red. The red mini peppers have a nice and sweet flavour so they get my personal preference.
