Ingredients:
- 10 oz (2 cans) Quality Tuna, packed in Olive Oil or Water, drained
- 1/4 cup finely diced Red Onion
- 1/4 cup chopped Fresh Coriander (Cilantro)
- 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed Lime Juice
- 1/2 Teaspoon Lime Zest
- 3 Tablespoons Greek Yoghurt (or Mayonnaise)
- 1/2 Teaspoon minced Jalapeño or Green Chilli (optional)
- Coarse Sea Salt, to taste
- Freshly Cracked Black Pepper, to taste
- 2 Large, Ripe Hass Avocados
- 1 Teaspoon extra Lime Juice (for brushing)
- Flaky Sea Salt, for seasoning
Instructions:
- Thoroughly drain the tinned tuna. If using tuna packed in olive oil, reserve a teaspoon of the oil. Place the drained tuna into the medium mixing bowl.
- Prep the Aromatics: Finely dice the red onion and chilli (if using). Roughly chop the coriander. Add the onion, chilli, and most of the chopped coriander to the tuna bowl.
- Create the Zesty Binder: In a small cup, whisk together the Greek yoghurt (or mayonnaise), 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, and the lime zest. Season this liquid mixture heavily with salt and pepper.
- Combine the Filling: Pour the zesty binder over the tuna and aromatics. Using a rubber spatula or fork, gently combine the ingredients. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning.
- Halve the Avocados: Cut the two avocados in half lengthwise. Twist the halves apart and carefully remove the stone.
- Create the Cavity: Using a teaspoon, gently scoop out a small, curved channel of avocado flesh from the center of each half (about 1–2 teaspoons total). Add this scooped-out avocado flesh directly into the tuna mixture to boost creaminess and flavor.
- Prevent Browning: Brush the cut surfaces of the four avocado halves lightly with the reserved teaspoon of lime juice. Sprinkle the exposed green flesh with flaky sea salt.
- Stuff the Boats: Generously spoon the tuna filling into the prepared avocado cavities, packing the filling neatly and building a slight mound over the center.
- Garnish and Serve: Dust the stuffed avocados with the reserved fresh coriander and a final light sprinkle of flaky sea salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
