How to
Preheat the oven to 350F.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, mix tuna, mayo, Gouda cheese, salt, and shredded zucchini. Make sure you use a kitchen towel to squeeze the liquid out of zucchini or your dish will be very soggy.
Spread tuna mixture in a round pie pan. Make sure to grease your pan first.
In another mixing bowl, combine almond flour, eggs, salt, heavy cream, and smoked paprika. Mix with a fork or an electric mixer until homogenous. If you don’t have paprika, check this list of paprika substitutes.
Pour the mixture over the tuna mixture. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
Let the cake cool on the counter for 10 minutes then use a knife to separate the edges from the pan.
Turn the pan up side down, so the almond mixture becomes the crust, and the tuna mixture becomes the top filling. If you don’t like almond, you can use shredded coconut.
Serve warm with some vegetables. Enjoy!
