Burgers

  • in a saute pan, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add onion and pepper, saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, saute another minute. Add salt, pepper, and paprika. Remove from heat and place in a bowl and chill in refrigerator. When veggies are cold mix with tuna and form four burgers.
