Boil the eggs in water with a generous pinch of salt.
Once the water starts boiling, let the eggs cook for 10 minutes.
When done, let the eggs cool completely.
Carefully peel the eggs, ensuring they don’t break, and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks.
In a medium-sized bowl, place the yolks (reserve one yolk for decoration) and mash them into a purée.
Add the flaked tuna and half of the processed tomato sauce. Mix well until the mixture has a uniform color.
Fill the egg halves with the mixture. Using two medium-sized spoons, top the filling with a dollop of mayonnaise.
Serve the eggs on a platter lined with lettuce leaves. Place green olives on the lettuce and arrange the deviled eggs on top.
For decoration, crumble the reserved yolk and mix it with a bit of mayonnaise. Sprinkle this mixture over the eggs.
Finish by garnishing with strips of tomato sauce.
To make peeling easier, place the boiled eggs in cold water immediately after cooking.
Use a piping bag for a more elegant presentation when filling the eggs.
Experiment with additional garnishes like chopped parsley or paprika for added flavor and color.
