Mostly this tasty dish is prepared from fresh tuna in our hometown, but in Minnesota we don’t get it fresh. But we get frozen tuna and canned tuna. I used canned tuna in this recipe. You can eat this as side dish for rice or stuffing for flour tortilla or to make bread sandwich.

- Ground pepper —————————–1/2 tsp
