SERVES:

6 HERE’S WHAT YOU DO...

Heat oil in Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, simmer until translucent, stirring occasionally. (Note: Use olive oil from tuna tin for extra flavor.)
Add garlic and herbs, simmer until fragrant, about one minute.
Transfer all chopped vegetables to pot along with salt and pepper, give it a quick stir. Nestle the bay leaves into the vegetables and cook, uncovered, for about 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, give vegetables a good stir. Tomatoes should be starting to break down to create a nice juice. At this point, stir in the tuna.
Cook, uncovered, for another 15 minutes or until vegetables and tuna are tender and tomatoes have broken down.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with slices of toasted fresh bread.
