Submitted by:
Merribuck |
1/2 cup Olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
3 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks |
1/2 cup Biscayne Sauce, or
2 tablespoons paprika
3 cups water
1 pound fresh tuna, cut into small chunks
salt to taste |
| In a
stockpot, heat the Olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion
for about 3 minutes, just until it begins to soften. Add the
green pepper and cook for another 3 minutes. Add the potatoes
and Biscayne Sauce or paprika, mix well, and then add the water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring now
and then, until it boils. Reduce the heat and cook the stew at a
low simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes
are fork-tender. Add the tuna to the stew, season to taste with
salt, and cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes, just until the tuna is
opaque throughout. Transfer the stew to a casserole and serve.
Yield: 8 servings. |
