Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 30m

Yield Makes 1 12- to 14-inch pizza

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (14-ounce) can tomatoes, finely chopped and drained in a strainer for 1 hour, or 3/4 cup fresh tomato sauce (page 000)
2 garlic cloves, minced (1 if using fresh tomato sauce, which is already seasoned)
Salt to taste
1 can olive oil-packed light (not albacore) tuna
1 12- to 14-inch pizza crust
1 teaspoon thyme leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
Hot red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed thoroughly with cold water
1/2 sweet red pepper, cut in thin strips
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place a pizza stone, if you have one, on the middle rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°.
  • If using drained canned tomatoes, season with half the garlic and salt to taste.
  • Break up the tuna in a bowl with a fork and add the remaining garlic and half the thyme and rosemary.
  • Spread the tomatoes or tomato sauce over the pizza. Distribute the tuna over the tomato sauce. Sprinkle on the remaining thyme and rosemary, the pepper flakes, capers, and strips of sweet red pepper. Drizzle on the olive oil.
  • Place the pizza pan on the stone in the hot oven. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the crust is brown. Remove from the heat, cut into wedges (I use kitchen scissors for this), and serve.

Tips:

  • If you don't have any breadcrumbs, you can use crushed crackers or cornflakes.
  • To make the pizza sauce, you can use your favorite store-bought sauce or make your own by simmering tomatoes, garlic, and oregano in olive oil.
  • If you don't have any pizza dough, you can use flatbread or even tortillas.
  • Be creative with your toppings! You can use any of your favorite pizza toppings, such as cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, or onions.
  • Serve the tuna pizza burgers with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or marinara sauce.
