  2. In the meantime, add your oil and onions into a medium pan or pot (medium heat) and cook until the onions are soft & translucent. Add your garlic being careful not to burn the garlic. Cook for a further minute. Add your chopped tomatoes, dried herbs and a little sugar (to taste) and bring to a hard bubble and cook for 3 min. Add your wine and cook for another 5 min. Add your drained tuna, turn down the heat and add your Buffet Olives and the capers. Add ground black pepper and salt (if needed) according to taste.
