Tuna tart with cheese recipe
The salty tuna tart is a very popular recipe around the world, especially in Argentina. A good amount of fried onion and bell pepper as a base, give it its characteristic flavor.

Tuna is so healthy that you will want to incorporate it into your diet!

How to make Tuna Cheesecake:
- To get started with the cheesy tuna pie recipe, first peel, chop and sauté the onion in 1 teaspoon of oil until translucent.
- Then, add the washed and chopped bell pepper without the ribs or seeds. And, when the vegetables start to brown and dry out, add 1 tablespoon of hot water and turn the heat down to medium. Repeat this process as many times as you wants, keeping in mind that the more times you do it, the sweeter it will be and the better its digestion will be, avoiding gas and bloating pain.
- When the vegetables are ready, remove them and pour the tomato sauce, the chopped tomatoes and the white wine into the same cooking bottom. Raise the heat to the maximum and let the alcohol evaporate while the tomato cooks. This will take about 5-10 minutes on medium heat.
- Integrate the sautéed vegetables with the tomato, tuna and cheese. Season to taste. We recommend ground chili, paprika, cumin and pepper. Once you have tasted your tuna pascualina filling, it is warm and you liked it, add the egg and integrate it. What do you think of this tuna tart with egg?
