2 medium yellow onions
1 can(s) diced or crushed tomato
1 can(s) tuna, canned large or 2 regular
1/4 c green olives with pimentos sliced or crushed
2 bay leaves, dried
2 dash(es) garlic salt
1 pinch black pepper
small amount of oil for cooking the onions
a small pinch of sugar if needed

Steps:

  • 1. Slice the onions top to bottom about 1/3 inch apart. Saute the onions until soft (the consistency of an onion in an onion ring)
