Pizza Marinara With Tuna And Capers Food

PIZZA MARINARA WITH TUNA AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone, if you have one, on the middle rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°.
• If using drained canned tomatoes, season with half the garlic and salt to taste.
• Break up the tuna in a bowl with a fork and add the remaining garlic and half the thyme and rosemary.
• Spread the tomatoes or tomato sauce over the pizza. Distribute the tuna over the tomato sauce. Sprinkle on the remaining thyme and rosemary, the pepper flakes, capers, and strips of sweet red pepper. Drizzle on the olive oil.
• Place the pizza pan on the stone in the hot oven. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the crust is brown. Remove from the heat, cut into wedges (I use kitchen scissors for this), and 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.
• Spread with the tomato purée mixture, then top with the tuna, capers, cheese and olives. Bake for 10-12 mins. Serve scattered with the onion and rocket.

TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mash garlic with the back of a spoon. Whisk in the lemon juice and 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Combine with the tuna, onion, olives, capers, herbs and salt to taste.
• Serve on buttered toast for sandwiches, or make into a dip: Pulse the tuna salad and butter in a food processor until it is creamy. With the motor of the processor running, slowly add the additional 4 tablespoons oil. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if needed. Serve with cut vegetables (fennel and bell peppers are nice) and crackers.
