Vegetable oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

capers

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: pickles

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Scoop out the bonito del norte tuna, which is packed in olive oil.

Grate one tomato to make a thick puree.

Add a generous amount of high-quality olive oil to the grated tomato.

Add a small pinch of merlot vinegar to the mixture using a spoon to avoid overpouring.

Mix the tomato puree, olive oil, and merlot vinegar together until well blended.

Scoop the tomato mixture on top of the tuna.

Optionally, crack some black pepper over the tuna and add salt to taste.

Drizzle a little more olive oil on top of the tuna if desired.

Serve the tuna with the tomato puree on top, and suggest pairing it with bread.
