My kitchen is never without a jar of tuna packed in oil.

It’s often the thing that saves me from feeling like I have nothing to eat.

It also plays nicely with other pantry staples like canned tomatoes, beans, and preserved lemons.

Tuna in tomato sauce?

I made a lazy version ofKitchen Butterfly’s lovelyBarca Tuna Sauceand was very happy.

The one pictured is super simple with olives, tuna, and a medium-cooked egg.

Lemony Tuna Sandwich

I like lemony tuna sandwiches with capers or olives and lots of parsley.

Preserved lemons work nicely, too (did I mention I have a thing for them?).

I made this one with all of the above, and stirred in a bit of homemade aioli.
