Cooks Note

* You can replace canned tuna with strips of fresh tuna.
* Boil the eggs for 12 minutes - to get the perfect hard boiled egg. Take out and allow to cool down for a few minutes. Then peel the shells off in a bowl of cold water - this is the best way to take the shells off without damaging the eggs in any way.
