Low Carb Tuna Melt On Zucchini - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (6 ounce) cans tuna packed in oil
    3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
    1/4 green olives, chopped
    1/4 cup green onion, chopped
    1 fresh mild green pepper, minced
    3 tablespoons mayonnaise
    1 tablespoon prepared mustard
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1 large zucchini
    2 small tomatoes, sliced
    1 1/2 cups cheese, grated
Preparation
    Slice the zucchini into diagonal 'coins'.
    Saute zucchini in a single layer in a saute pan with a little bit of oil until they begin to brown, then turn over and brown the other side a little (this is to both heat them and eliminate a little of the moisture in them).
    Mix drained tuna with parsley, olives, green onions, mayonnaise and mustard (you can swap out ingredients here--try pickled red peppers, capers, celery, brown onion, swap out different peppers for greater or lesser heat--whatever you have on hand).
    Arrange zucchini in small piles on a foil lined baking sheet: I used 4-5 pieces per pile and just slightly overlapped their edges.
    Mound tuna onto zucchini bases.
    Cover each tuna-zucchini mound with a few slices of tomato and then sprinkle with cheese.
    Place under a broiler until cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
