Stew the tuna
After the fish has absorbed the spices evenly, you place the pot of fish on the stove and add boiling water just enough to cover the fish, stewing on high heat. You stew for about 10 minutes, when you see the water in the pot boiling again, cover the pot and reduce to the lowest heat.
Stew the fish on low heat until the water in the pot reduces, and the stew sauce thickens at the bottom of the pot, then turn off the heat.
