Every Friday during Lent we eat fish or beans. One fish recipe that’s been with me since my childhood is canned tuna omelet; it’s economical and easy. My grandmother, my mom and now I make this family favorite on these days.

Ingredients

  • 4 cans of tuna
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 finely chopped chives
  • 2 tablespoons milk, cream or water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Directions

  • 1
    Open the cans and let the liquid drain through a colander.
  • 2
    Beat the eggs with the milk in a bowl until foamy, about 30 seconds.
  • 3
    Add the chives and tuna. Stir well and season with salt and pepper.
  • 4
