Chimituna: Chimichurri & Tuna
The other day I was trying to figure out what to have for lunch and grabbed a package of tuna from my pantry. When I opened the fridge to look for ingredients, I noticed some leftover chimichurri sauce from the night before. Why not mix the tuna and chimichurri? Why hadn’t I tried this before?
