Preparation

Heat oil in a casserole. Cook onion and pepper for 8 minutes; add garlic for 30 seconds.
Stir in choricero pulp and tomatoes; cook 3 minutes.
Crack potatoes into uneven pieces with a knife so their starch thickens the stew. Add them and stock; simmer 20 minutes until tender.
Add tuna only when potatoes are ready. Cook 2 minutes, turn off heat, cover and rest 5 minutes.
Taste, adjust salt and serve; longer cooking makes tuna dry.
