60 g finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
30 g pitted green olives
½ clove garlic

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Preheat the oven to 250 °C.
2
Wash the bell pepper, pat it dry, brush it all over with oil, season with salt, and place it on a baking sheet. Put it into the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes. Then transfer it to a bowl, cover it thoroughly with cling film, and let the pepper steam for 6 minutes. Afterward, scrape off the skin with a small knife. Cut the bell pepper in half and remove the seeds. Dice half of the flesh into 0.5×0.5 cm cubes. Cut the other half into 0.5 cm thick strips.
3
Mix 40 g of onion in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of water, vinegar, and sugar. Set aside.
4
Finely chop the olives and garlic. Drain the tuna, place it in a bowl, add mayonnaise, the remaining onion, mustard, olives, pepper, chives, and the diced bell pepper. Mix well.
5
Peel the eggs, cut them lengthwise in half, remove the yolks, and brush them with oil. Set aside. Spoon the tuna salad into the hollows of the egg whites. Place a yolk on top. Serve the pickled onion on a plate, place the eggs with tuna on top, and garnish with bell pepper strips and parsley.

Tip: For an especially delicate flavor, you can finish the sauce with a drop of lemon juice. Homemade spaetzle or wide noodles, which perfectly soak up the creamy sauce, are an excellent side dish.
