Step 1

Saute the onion in the olive oil until tender. Add tuna and remaining ingredients and <a href="/technique/GFSF4J5F/simmer">simmer</a> 10 minutes. Jackie says this is a foolproof recipe and always <a href="/technique/B52FHCF2/turn">turns</a> out. She says she uses two dashes of red pepper now. You <a href="/technique/TPWNYF5L/can">can</a> jazz it up with <a href="/technique/LTSH5D6W/crushed">crushed</a> red pepper but I recommend that you have a cast iron stomach if you do. (I don't!)

Step 2

I left out an ingredient - one tomato sauce <a href="/technique/TPWNYF5L/can">can</a> full of water! Also, I used green bell pepper but I suspect that it would be even better with red bell pepper. That's what I'm going to use next time. I tried it on rice, even though Jackie says she and her husband just eat it plain with French <a href="/technique/482ZKJDV/bread">bread</a> to sop up the <a href="/technique/QDWRNXYW/juice">juice</a>.
