Mediterranean Tuna Pizza Food

MEDITERRANEAN TUNA MELTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Drain the tuna, reserving 2 tablespoons oil. Toss the tuna, reserved oil, 1/4 cup parsley, the olives, red onion, the juice of 1/2 lemon, the smoked paprika, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Spread the tuna salad on 4 of the pita halves; top with the cheese and the remaining pita halves.
• Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. One at a time, add the sandwiches and cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, the remaining 1/4 cup parsley, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil and the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Cut the tuna melts into wedges. Serve with the arugula salad.

• Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. Spread the pizza base with tomato purée. Scatter over the garlic, olives, tomatoes and half the oil. Bake for 10 mins until the tomatoes start to colour and the base is crisp.
• Remove from the oven, sprinkle over the capers, tuna and basil, drizzle with oil, then serve.

TUNA, OLIVE & ROCKET PIZZAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Tip the pizza mix into a bowl and make up following pack instructions. Cover the bowl with a cloth and leave for a few mins.
• Meanwhile, mix the tomato purée with 4 tbsp water, 1 tbsp oil from the tuna and some seasoning.
• Knead the dough for a few mins on a floured surface, then halve and put each piece, spaced apart, on a large oiled baking tray. Press with an oiled hand to make thin flat pizzas - they don't have to be perfectly round.
