Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • ½ lb sweet peppers/bell peppers
  • 1 can (12 oz) chunk light tuna in water (or vegetable oil)
  • ½ medium onion
  • 2 large cloves garlic
  • 2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup hot water
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Wash sweet peppers and pat dry with paper towels. Remove core and seeds, and slice into diagonal strips.
  2. Peel onion and slice thinly. Crush garlic with the flat side of knife to loosen the skin, then peel and mince finely.
  3. Open can of tuna using a can opener. Drain liquid into a bowl. Set aside until ready to use.
  4. Heat skillet / saute pan over medium high heat. Add oil and throw in onions and garlic. Saute until onions become translucent and garlic has browned a little, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add drained tuna into the pan and saute for 2 minutes.
  6. Throw in sliced peppers and saute for about 3 minutes until slightly limp.
  7. Add the broccoli florets.
  8. Pour in tuna water and 1 cup of hot water.
  9. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Personally, I don't add salt anymore since the canned tuna is salty enough for me. I just add about ⅛ teaspoon of ground black pepper. Mix everything with a cooking spoon.
  10. Cover pan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 3-5 minutes according to desired doneness. If you like your veggies halfway cooked, simmer for 3 minutes only, otherwise cook for full 5 minutes.
  11. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
