Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. 1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of the celery, 1/4 cup of the onion, the carrot, bay leaf, white wine, lemon wedges, marjoram, thyme, and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat so the liquid is simmering, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. 2. Gently lower the tuna into the liquid and poach until just done, 12 to 15 minutes. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the tuna from the poaching liquid and set it aside to cool. Once the tuna has cooled, break it up into large flakes.
  3. 3. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine mesh strainer set over another pot. Discard the solids. Bring the strained liquid to a boil over high heat. Continue to boil until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup and almost syrupy, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  4. 4. In a large bowl, combine the tuna, remaining 1/4 cup onion, red pepper, olives, oil, parsley, lemon juice, hot sauce, and 2 tablespoons of the reduced cooking liquid. (Discard the remaining cooking liquid.) Mix gently but thoroughly, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Use as a sandwich filling or as a salad component.
