Method

Wash the produce

Rinse the Onion, Garlic, Chili Pepper (or Bell Pepper), Dill, and Tomato under cool running water, then pat everything dry well. Dry vegetables will help the tuna mix stay thick and creamy instead of turning loose and watery.

Chop everything finely

Peel the onion and garlic. Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and finely chop the chili pepper or bell pepper, removing the seeds if you want a milder result. Pick the dill fronds from any thick stems and chop them finely. Core the tomato and chop it into very small pieces so it blends easily into the sauce when mixed.

Drain the tuna

Open the Canned Tuna and drain it very well. Press it gently against the side of the can or into a sieve with a fork to remove as much liquid as possible.

Mash the base

Place the chopped onion, garlic, chili pepper or bell pepper, dill, and tomato in a medium bowl or shallow plate. Add the Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, Tahini (@al_shraa1972), Smoked Paprika, Salt, and Black Pepper. Use a fork or spoon to mash and stir everything together for 1 to 2 minutes, pressing the tomato and onion slightly as you mix, until the vegetables soften a bit and a thick, creamy, spoonable sauce forms.

Fold and serve

Add the drained tuna to the bowl and break it up with the fork as you mix, stirring until everything is evenly combined and well coated. Taste and adjust with a little more salt, black pepper, lemon juice, or olive oil if needed. Finish with a small drizzle of olive oil over the top, then serve right away with bread.
