When I'm in France I indulge in the supermarket. But also at the local markets and at the fruit stands. Everything fresh from the country and somehow it always tastes just a little better in the country itself. You will also see completely different recipes on the menu at restaurants and bistros. Now I am lucky that I can speak and read French and that opens up a whole world for you. Enjoy reading French cooking magazines and getting ideas. The next recipe of stuffed citroen with tuna comes from the magazine “Gourmand”. And that is a piece of Méditerranée on your plate!
And this is how you make the stuffed lemon:
We'll start with the lemons first. Wash it well under the tap and then cut a cap off the top with a sharp knife. Now we are going to hollow out the lemon. If you have a small lemon squeezer, use it to squeeze the lemon. Be careful not to leave the peel very long. Use a very sharp knife to cut away all the skins and leftovers of lemon from the inside. I rinsed them again under cold water to make sure they are really clean.
-You can save the juice for a nice fresh lemon water with some fresh mint and cucumber, for example.
- Grab a large bowl and add the yogurt, fresh cream cheese and the drained can of tuna. Blend this until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and a few tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Then finely chop a number of basil leaves, and also finely chop the capers. Add this to the tuna mix for the lemon and stir it all together.
-With a teaspoon, fill the lemons neatly with tuna until they are full.
-(To keep your lemon stable, cut a small piece off the bottom so they don't fall over)
Keep the tuna stuffed lemon in the fridge until ready to use, so that the flavours can develop and the lemon stays nice and fresh. When you serve them, add a nice piece of baguette, so that you can complement the deliciousness of the filling with a crunchy texture. This dish is not only refreshing, but also a feast for the eyes. It looks colourful and attractive on the table, perfect for a summer dinner or a cosy drink. Don't forget to enjoy every bite; it really is a delicious combination of flavours! Delicious Bites!
The plate you see in the photo I bought in France on vacation due to a lack of beautiful crockery in the holiday home. Yes you are a food blogger or you are not….
