Stuffed Piquillo Peppers with Tuna Salad

Piquillo Peppers

I discovered this recipe in the San Francisco Chronicle several years ago and have altered it slightly. I think a good barrel fermented Viura will go well with this delightful Tapa. Try Bodegas Muga Blanco Rioja

Ingredients for Stuffed Piquillo Peppers with Tuna Salad

  • 7 ounce can of tuna in olive oil. Spanish tuna is so much better. You can buy it at the Spanish Table stores or online.
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 hardboiled egg, chopped
  • One 12 ounce jar of piquillo peppers. I buy my Piquillo peppers at Whole Foods Market
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sherry vinegar

Instructions for Stuffed Piquillo Peppers with Tuna Salad

  • Squeeze the excess olive oil from the tuna and place tuna in a bowl and mash with a fork.
  • Add the mayonnaise, celery, egg, and mix. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Carefully handle the peppers, they tear easily.
  • Drain off the liquid and place peppers on a paper towel.
  • Stuff the piquillo peppers with the tuna salad.
  • Arrange on a serving platter and sprinkle the peppers with a few drops of sherry vinegar.
