Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 4 medium, cubed golden potatoes
- 2 5-ounce cans, drained canned tuna
- 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups, fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium, juiced lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly in the oil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown on the edges.
Season the potatoes with paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and let the potatoes steam for another 8-10 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the lid and add the drained canned tuna, cherry tomatoes, and spinach to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach wilts.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the skillet and give it a final stir.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
