Stewed Tuna

Stewed Tuna is a dish my mother used to make for us when I was growing up so naturally I though it was a common thing. As it turns out, this dish is not as common as I thought it was and most people just use canned tuna to make Tuna Salad. However, if you like canned tuna and never had this dish before, this is a recipe that can change your life.
