I have total respect for the multitude of meals and applications a humble tin of tuna (aka the toons) can provide. My only point, and it’s a strong one, is that you should cook with tuna in oil only. Anything that says ‘spring water’ or ‘salt-free’ or ‘tuna in brine’ – drop it and run. That stuff is rubbish. You deserve better and this recipe deserves better. It’s toona. It’s a packet of noods. It’s the last-minute meal you need in your life.
