PEPPADEWS STUFFED WITH TUNA PATE

peppadews stuffed with tuna pate

7 ounce can of solid white albacore tuna, drained and minced in a cuisinart

2 teaspoons finely minced onion

Zest of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

4 ounces cream cheese

1 tablespoon softened butter

1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Dash freshly ground pepper

Mix all ingredients in the cuisinart with the tuna to make a paste.  Pipe into the peppadews (hot and sweet cherry peppers).  The piquant taste of the peppers with the mild flavor of the tuna are a sensational treat for an appetizer.
