Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar (good quality)
  • 4 large Beefsteak Tomato
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 2 5-ounce cans Tuna drained (Albacore)
  • 4 teaspoons Olive Oil (good quality)
  • Fresh Basil chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Put the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil on high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until it has reduced to about 1/2 and coats the back of a spoon, which is about 5-10 minutes.
  • Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool (It thickens once cool.)
  • Cut a large circle into the tops of the tomatoes and use a small spoon to follow each one out, making sure you don’t through the bottom or sides.
  • If the tomatoes are wobbly, you can cut the bottoms flat, but make sure you don’t go through the tomato. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt inside each tomato.
  • Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar on the inside of each tomato and then pack each tomato with 1/2 can of tuna.
  • Drizzle each tomato with another 1/2 Tablespoon of vinegar and then 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  • Garnish with basil and DEVOUR!
