📖 The Story Behind This Dish

The Solomon Islands have a tuna cannery, so locally made canned tuna is an everyday food. At home, tuna is fried and simmered with onion, tomato, and coconut milk and spooned over rice. It's a busy-day lunch staple.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a home in the capital Honiara, tuna and tomato are spooned over white rice and handed out to the family.
