TUNA SALAD WITH HOT AND SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Toss the pepper and the chile with the vinegar and a big pinch of salt in a large bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the celery into 1/4-inch dice.
• Add the celery, tuna with all of its oil and chopped parsley to the peppers. Toss until the tuna flakes into bite-size pieces and everything is well mixed, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

ROASTED RED PEPPER FILLED WITH TUNA

Steps:

• Roast the pepper directly over a gas burner or under the broiler, turning often until uniformly charred. Remove from the heat, and place in a bowl. Cover tightly, and allow to cool.
• While you're waiting for the pepper to cool, make the tuna filling. Combine the garlic and a generous pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste. Add the anchovy, if using, and mash with the garlic. Add the capers, and mash together. In a bowl, break up the tuna with a fork, then stir in the garlic mixture, the lemon juice, olive oil and the yogurt. Add more yogurt or olive oil if the mixture seems dry. Season to taste with pepper (it should not need salt), and stir in the parsley.
• When the pepper is cool enough to handle, peel and discard the blackened skin, rinse briefly and pat dry. Cut away the top, then cut or pull apart the pepper into thirds. Remove seeds and membranes, holding the pepper over a bowl so that you can catch any juice. Lay the pepper pieces on a plate. Season with a little salt and pepper if desired, and fill with the tuna mixture. Serve.

MOLDED TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Using salad oil, lightly grease (or spray w/PAM) a large round mold or 8 individual serving molds. Invert mold(s) on paper towels to allow drainage of any excess oil (Ramekins would work very well w/this).
• Combine tuna with eggs, olives & onion.
• Soften gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Then dissolve over hot water bath, remove from heat & add mayonnaise gradually, stirring constantly.
• Fold into tuna mixture, turn into mold(s) & chill till firm.
• TO SERVE: Unmold on lettuce leaves or mixed greens & garnish as desired.
• NOTE RE SERVING SIZES: The info I have given is based on individual salad servings as part of a meal. As a luncheon entree, I would expect 6 servings from this recipe.

ROASTED PEPPER, TUNA AND OLIVE PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high. Put the peppers on a baking tray and grill until blackened, turning often to evenly color. Put in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to cool.
• Cook the pasta following the pack instructions then drain and cool under cold running water. Set aside.
• Make the dressing by whisking together the vinegar, oil and some salt and pepper. Stir in the capers then fold through half the pasta and tip onto a platter.
• Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skin, remove the seeds and slice the flesh into strips. Add to the pasta.
• Flake on the tuna and scatter the olives and arugula on top. Finish with the remaining dressing. Serve.
