I loved the idea of this recipe but will not make it again. First, it calls for “Three 12-ounce cans tuna packed in extra-virgin olive oil.” Really, more than a pound of tuna? I used three 5-oz cans, which was more than enough. My tuna is water-based so I added two tablespoons of olive oil. I probably should’ve added more because the tuna was too dry. I’d like to make a similar dish again but will look for a different recipe.
