Tuna Stew with Tomato Sauce

Tuna or mackerel is a very special fish because its meat is high in nutrients, but the fat content is low, and that is one of the reasons that the housewife is very fond of it. Mackerel can be prepared into a variety of delicious dishes, such as stew, deep-fried, baked, and steamed. One of my favorite dishes is tomato sauce. Tuna comes in different sizes, and it depends on where it came from. Despite the appearance of the tuna, this recipe never fails, and it is easy for family meals. I like to prepare this dish during summer with plenty of fresh tomatoes, which are quite inexpensive in the markets or to me from my garden.

Ingredients:
1 to 2 lbs. tuna, cut into pieces
1 lb. tomato cut into wedges
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 shallots, chopped
2 fresh chopped chilies
1 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup peanut oil
Sauce seasoning ingredients:
1/2 cup water or chicken broth
1 tbs fish sauce
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt, black pepper

Serve with black or white rice

Directions:
Wash tuna pieces in salted water and pat dry.
In a deep saucepan, heat oil and deep-fry tuna until golden brown. Remove onto plate.
In the same pan, stir in onions and garlic. Stir and cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes.
Add broth or water to cook tomatoes further or until almost tender. Return tuna to the sauce and add seasoning. Adjust the seasoning while tuna is cooking in the tomato sauce.
Turn the fish twice.
Add chopped green onions when the sauce has thickened. Serve.
