Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium yellow onions
1 can(s) diced or crushed tomato
1 can(s) tuna, canned large or 2 regular
1/4 c green olives with pimentos sliced or crushed
2 bay leaves, dried
2 dash(es) garlic salt
1 pinch black pepper
small amount of oil for cooking the onions
a small pinch of sugar if needed

Steps:

  • 1. Slice the onions top to bottom about 1/3 inch apart. Saute the onions until soft (the consistency of an onion in an onion ring)
  • 2. To the onions add the can of tomatoes, the pepper, garlic salt and the bay leaves. Stir up and cover pan. Let simmer low for 15 minutes, in order to develop the flavors.
  • 3. At this point taste. If the tomatoes seem bitter, add a very small pinch of sugar. Add the sliced olives and cover again with another 5 minute simmer (to soften the olives and pull out the flavor) Remove bay leaves and serve.
