Causa Rellena De Atun Causa Stuffed With Tuna

My son came home from peru describing this dish and we finally found it on a website with traditional peruvian recipes. It's such a delicious meal! You can substitute the tuna with salmon or any other flavorful large flaked fish. It's a little work to make but well worth the effort and it's quite economical too!!
