Araz Gholami

Turkey, and especially Istanbul, might not have the top spot in the world for food variety and restaurant density, but it’s definitely among the top. However, after more than a month, homesickness for homemade food sets in, and you decide to take matters into your own hands. The bigger problem is that you neither have the time to cook at home nor the skills to do it. So your brain goes into overdrive, and you turn to memories and skills from your military service to recall one of the delicious dishes from back then. Here it is—the nameless delicious dish.

Ingredients:

• Onion (two small or one medium)
• Canned tuna (one can)
• Egg (one)
• Cooking oil or any other oil (a little)

Instructions:

1. First, chop the onions and put them in a pan. Add a little oil and wait until they are fried to your liking.

(Your liking: for example, I like them very fried. Some prefer half-cooked. Others like them raw.)

2. Then, open the canned tuna and drain its oil into the trash (because the oil can weaken bones) before adding the tuna to the onions.

Tip: At this stage, you need to break the tuna into pieces, because its oil can make the chunks splatter.

Tip 2: I just realized the first tip myself.

3. Once you’re sure the tuna is cooked, add the egg and mix everything together.

4. At this stage, with a little stirring, the dish is ready. While eating, you can use ketchup and Coca-Cola to enhance its flavor.

Tip 3: To prevent food poisoning, be sure to drink tea after your meal.

Tip 4: This isn’t your mom’s house. Wash the pan and put it back in its place.
