This is a perfect recipe to delight, especially children, and to get them in the kitchen to occupy their time.
Canned tuna is always part of our pantries, especially in difficult times like the one we are going through.
This recipe is very easy and made with ingredients that we usually always have available.
If you want, you can make this recipe without the olives, or change the tuna to ground meat, leftover chicken or fish, and even canned sausages cut into slices.
The tuna can be any type you have, natural is healthier, and tuna in oil is tastier.
