In all honesty, this is a recipe for tuna and noodles not tuna casserole but it tastes so good that it needs a fancier name. Try it and see for yourself!
- Boil water and add a half pound of extra wide egg noodles.
- Next, scatter a couple teaspoons of sesame seeds across the bottom of a cast iron skillet and put it on medium heat.
- When the seeds are toasted add half a yellow onion finely chopped and about two tablespoons olive oil.
- Add chopped garlic, green pepper, brocolli florets and thin sliced peeled brocolli stem.
- Saute until the onions are clear.
- Add a heaping teaspoon of chili garlic paste.
- Stir.
- Add one can tuna in water, liquid and all.
- Add the juice from one can of black olives along with about half of the olives.
- Add one can of cream of mushroom soup.
- Stir.
- Drain the noodles and add to the skillet.
- Add chopped fresh cilantro.
- Stir and serve.
Serves four. We like to eat this with buttered bread.
