In the culinary haven of France, tuna is one of the ingredients that takes center stage during the spring and summer months, adorning pasta, salads, and – perhaps less expectedly, but just as tasty – pizza. While tuna may not be a super popular topping (yet) in the US, we’re betting that France-based chef and author Denis Job’s version of a French pizza classic will sway even the most dubious eaters. With its savory flavor, slightly meaty and flaky texture, it’s also a great alternative to more traditional meat toppings like sausage or pepperoni.
Instead of the expected red sauce, here Denis opts for verdant broccoli and indulgent mascarpone (a rich, spreadable, slightly sweet Italian cheese) cream for a well-balanced twist. Add to that caramelized onions, grated Parmesan, olive oil, salt and pepper and you’ve got an excellent base for the pièce de résistance: tuna.
Not only is this a pie that showcases a beloved French topping while highlighting seasonality, but it’s also a surefire way to shake up your home-cooked pizza routine.
