Instructions

1
Wash and halve the zucchini (the bigger the better, otherwise use 2). Cut each half lengthwise so you have 4 large pieces. You’ll use these to fill later.
2
Bring water to a boil in a pan large enough for the zucchini. Add the zucchini and cook for 15 minutes. Then remove and let cool. Next, use a spoon to carefully scoop out the flesh from the zucchini skins. Chop up the zucchini flesh and set aside for later.
3
Wash and dice the bell pepper. Mince the onion.
4
Heat a little olive oil in a skillet and lightly fry the bell pepper, onion and zucchini flesh over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring often.
5
When the vegetables are soft, add the drained tuna and tomato sauce. Mix well to incorporate.
6
Fill the zucchini skins with the contents of the skillet and serve straight away.
