Preserved tuna can be found at gourmet grocers as well as good Italian and Spanish delicatessens. You can substitute the tuna with chicken, prawns, scallops, anchovies, barbecue quail or roast beef leftovers. The choice is yours. For vegetarians, omit the tuna and serve with some delicious garlicy bruschetta.
