Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and cook the onion, chilli, cinnamon and basil stalks on a medium low heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the onion has softened. Increase the heat to medium high and add the tomatoes, tuna and a good pinch of salt. Break the tomatoes up, then bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
