Thai Tuna and Tomato Pizza
"I recently had a coupon for some flavored tunas and created this to use one of them. It sounds a little crazy but I thought the combo was really good! If you don't want to use the Pillsbury crust, you could make your own or use another kind of pre-made crust, just adjust baking times and temperatures accordingly."

Tuna pizza is HUGE in Sicily (or WAS when I lived there 10 years ago, food trends and all) and for this recipe, I omitted the Thai chili-tuna, and went with tradition- adding red onions. As always, the better ingredients make the best result, but forgo the fresh tuna impulse you may have and instead, stop with jarred in oil.

This was wonderful! The Monterey Jack complimented the tuna, basil, and tomatoes perfectly. Instead of using Thai chili flavored tuna, I added 2 tsp of Thai chili garlic paste to water-packed tuna. That gave it quite a bite, and I will decrease the Thai chili a little bit next time! I used a homemade pizza crust (Recipe #195526) and baked at 450 for 15 minutes. Thanks for sharing this unique, delcious pizza! Made for Holiday tag.

I have a degree in archaeology from a small Ohio college and I work for the Ohio History Connection. My passions are art, music, books, food, history, and cats/animal welfare. I also love photography. I have a 1,000 (plus) piece collection of vintage flower pins from the 1960's, hence the username ha. I also have small collections of vintage butterfly pins, vintage tablecloths, and vintage glass Christmas ornaments. (Can you tell I love vintage?) I took a trip to the Netherlands in March 2006 and fell in love! I doubt it will happen but if I ever have the opportunity I would love to live there.
