Notes

Type of tuna: For this recipe you can use tinned tuna either in brine, oil or water, depending on your preference. Premium jarred tuna or fresh is also OK, but not necessary. Your choice.
Vegetables: Use any other vegetables you prefer. Frozen defrosted peas are a nice alternative to sweetcorn. Red onion is also tasty.
