Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Unroll the puff pastry onto a large baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Score a 1cm border around the edges with a sharp knife, taking care not to cut through the pastry. Prick the area inside the border with a fork. Bake for 15 mins.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in frying pan and fry the courgettes until tender and the mixture is quite dry. Allow to cool a little before mixing with the soft cheese.
- Remove the pastry base from the oven and press down any puffed up areas, within the border, with the back of a spoon. Spread over the courgette mixture. Scatter with tuna, lay over the pepper strips and sprinkle on capers. Finally dot with olives and bake for a further 15 mins until the pastry is golden, puffed up and cooked though.

Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna: Opt for solid white albacore tuna packed in water or olive oil for the best flavor and texture.
- Choose the right pastry dough: Puff pastry is the traditional choice for tuna tarts, but you can also use phyllo dough or even wonton wrappers for a crispy and flaky crust.
- Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become dry and tough. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables in the filling. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, peas, corn, and zucchini.
- Season the filling well: Don't be afraid to season the filling generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the tuna and vegetables.
- Chill the tarts before serving: Chilling the tarts before serving helps them to set and makes them easier to slice.
