Try tuna and onion on a pizza. Italians love it.
Prof,
Back in 1984, our ship pulled into Haifa, Israel for a port visit. Ate at a little streetside pizza joint that had, among other things, Tuna pizza. Liking tuna, I was intrigued by it - never thought of putting the two together. Absolutely, one of the best pizza's I've ever eaten!
Yeah, I was put off by it too at first - and by putting tuna in normal spaghetti tomato sauce to give it more substance (an ex-girlfriend used to cook that as a default supper, spaghetti with tomato sauce with tuna in it).
I thought "how can you Italians complain about how Hawaii or California is ruining pizza by putting pineapple on it, if you put tuna on it ?
I have never tried pineapple pizza. Who knows?
But tuna on pizza is delicious and when I work at home and want to make a fast meal for myself and am tired of sandwiches I boil some spaghetti, pull out a jarred sauce and put some tuna in it in the pan to heat up with a little olive oil, and have a nice lunch !
Here are some variations:
pizza with tuna and olives:
pizza with cherry tomatoes, basil and tuna:
pizza with tuna and onions:
finally, pizza with tuna, black and green olives and sliced hard-boiled egg:
