As much as I love to cook, I don’t always feel like it. Especially when I have hardly anything in the house and I can’t bring myself to go to the grocery store after a long day. One of my go-to dishes at a time like this is Tuna Sambal. My husband and I used to frequent a little Indonesian restaurant and this dish was our favorite. My husband asked me to learn how to make it at home, and I’m ALWAYS up for a cooking challenge. Little did I know, what I thought was going to be complicated and difficult to replicate turned out to be one of the easiest dinners around! I mean, everyone has a can of tuna in their house, right?
