light, tasty and simple

Wash the peppers. Either cut off the tops or halve them lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Drain the tuna thoroughly and shred it with a fork. Finely chop the onion, gherkins, and garlic and mix with the tuna, sour cream, mustard, and tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper and stir in 1 tablespoon of the cheese. A lot of liquid will be released during baking. If this bothers you, you can stir some oat bran or rolled oats into the mixture to absorb the liquid. You won’t taste it later. Fill the peppers with the tuna mixture and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 15 minutes. Serve with a salad, or with rice or pasta. But it’s also filling on its own.
