Preparation

Preparation Steps

1. Sauté Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

2. Add Tomatoes and Spices

Add the diced tomatoes, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir and let it cook for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.

3. Incorporate Tuna

Add the drained tuna to the pot and gently stir to combine. Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer.

4. Simmer the Stew

Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

5. Finish and Serve

Stir in chopped cilantro just before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with rice or bread.
