1/2 cup (125 ml) water

2 teaspoons (10 ml) butter

1/2 cup (125 ml) couscous

8 medium tomatoes in various colours

1 can (198 g/7 oz) oil-packed tuna, drained

1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil

1/4 cup (60 ml) finely diced celery

3 green onions, chopped

2 tablespoons (30 ml) chopped flat-leaf parsley

1 tablespoon (15 ml) chopped capers

Grated zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Salt and pepper

In a small saucepan, bring the water and butter to a boil. Season with salt. Remove from the heat and add the couscous. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.

Slice off the tops of the tomatoes, taking care to leave the stems intact. Set the tops aside. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of the tomatoes so that they sit flat on a plate. Using a melon baller, scoop out and discard the pulp and seeds.

Combine the remaining ingredients with the couscous. Adjust the seasoning.

Spoon about 75 ml (1/3 cup) of the stuffing into each tomato and cover with the reserved tops. Serve as an appetizer or as a side dish for grilled meats or fish.
