My own lumpia: Tuna and Pepper Wrap

As I was scouring recipe sites for seafood recipes, I my remember the days when I was still "working". A food provider sold a unique kind of "lumpia" (wrap) that I always had to buy when they catered. I know there's pepper because I see the stalk at the end of the wrap, and I do recall the taste of tuna. So I'm hoping to do some experiment and see if I can replicate the dish.

I would need:

• green finger peppers
• can of spicy tuna
• garlic
• onion
• salt and pepper to taste
• lumpia (spring roll/pastry) wrappers

I'm pretty sure you can conclude how to cook this but let me try it first before I actually recommend it. There might be some ingredients missing but I'll know as I'm cooking. Watch out for a follow up blog and pictures, of course.

UPDATE (03.22.2010)~~


Since my Lola and sister ate this with us, I decided to skip the "spicyness".

Initially, I intended:

• a can of spicy tuna
• finger peppers to be split open but not sliced, seeded but pulp intact and won't be washed after seeding

Modifications:

• Used Tuna in brine
• Peppers sliced in half lengthwise and removed seeds (and pulp). Washed again to minimize spicyness
• Added strips of cheese, and
  
• Cut the peppers when they tend to curve to make is easier to wrap them
