Zucchini Baked with Tuna, Rice, and Tomatoes

An unusual appetizer of vegetables with rice and tuna. I've made those little stacks of zucchini, eggplant, and tomato that everyone knows plenty of times, and one day I decided to switch things up with this filling of rice and canned tuna. I love canned fish, so this appetizer shows up on our table now and then.

    1. Wash the zucchini, cut it into rounds about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick, and fry them in a skillet with vegetable oil on both sides until lightly golden. 2. Arrange the zucchini in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 3. Cook the wild-and-golden rice mix in boiling salted water until tender, then drain it in a colander. 4. Mash the canned tuna well with a fork (oil and juices included), then add the herbes de Provence and the cooked rice. Mix. 5. Spoon the filling onto the zucchini rounds. 6. Cut the tomatoes into thick rounds and set them on top of the tuna-and-rice filling. 7. Put the baking sheet of zucchini into an oven preheated to 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes.
