Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 lbs fresh tuna
• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped fine but not minced
• 2 green peppers, diced
• 2 large tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 fresh chili peppers or 1 pinch cayenne
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and sliced
• water
• 1/2 cup wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced (optional)

Recipe

• 1 cut the fish into large, chunky pieces (about 1 1/2 inch squares).
• 2 heat the olive oil in a large stove-top safe casserole dish or pot. (i'd use a nice heavy cast iron pot). add in the onion, garlic, peppers and tomatoes and fry over a low heat for about ten minutes.
• 3 when the onion is looking cooked, add the paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper and cook for another few minutes.
• 4 add in the potatoes then add just enough water to cover the potatoes and veggies. bring up to a gentle boil.
• 5 when the potatoes are nearly done, add in the tuna and the wine and cook for a further 15 minutes all depending you may need to add a little more liquid if it's drying up, or let some cook off if it's too runny. garnish with the parsley if using.
• 6 serve with crusty bread and a salad!
