Stuffed Tomatoes with Moroccan Tuna Salad



My love for traveling is not far behind my love of food. And where is there a better place to enjoy a cultural food experience than Morocco? 

I'm not one to talk since I haven't even ventured into the African continent yet, but as soon as my hubby and I get the opportunity, it is one of the first places we want to explore. The selection of markets and food stalls is beyond comprehension and I cannot contain my excitement at the prospect of filling my tum-tum to the brim with the authentic cuisine.

A common spice blend that is widely available around the world that allows us to produce Moroccan food in our own homes is Ras el Hanout. It is my chosen ingredient in this recipe and adds a perfect depth to the dish that is impossible to attain with any other spice. 

If a Ras el Hanout spice blend is not available in your area, do not fear. There are many streamlined recipes online to chose from that will allow you to make use of the everyday spices in your cupboard.

Don't hesitate to make this simple, healthy, and delicious recipe today!
