border of Northern Spain, made using Tuna or bonito. Serve with a crisp
white wine, such as Portuguese vinho verde.

In a medium sized skillet, heat 2 TBSP of the oilover med. high heat. Add
the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 4 minutesuntil soft. Add
the garlic and tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10
minutes, until the tomatoes are soft. Stir in the capers.

Meanwhile, arrange the potatoe slices in the bottom of a 12 One fourth inch
cazuela or other shallow heatproof dish, overlapping the slices.

Spread the tomato and onion mixture over the potatoes. Pour over the broth.

are almost cooked. Sprinkle the tuna slices lightly with the salt and
pepper to taste. Place on top of the potatoesand bake for 5 8 minutes,
until the tuna is opaque throughout. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
