tuna and chickpea stew in a bowl with cilantro

Tuna and Chickpea Stew

This tuna and chickpea stew starts with onion and garlic softened in olive oil. Chickpeas, canned tuna, diced tomatoes and smoked paprika simmer together until the sauce thickens, with cilantro on top.

It’s made almost entirely from pantry staples, and it all cooks in one saucepan. Let it simmer uncovered so the sauce reduces.
