In a bowl, moisten the bread crumbs with tbsp of the chicken broth and 1 tbsp of the wine. Mix in the flaked tuna, hard-boiled egg, beaten egg, parsley, garlic, salt, & pepper. Form the tuna mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls and dust with flour. Heat the oil in skillet and brown the tuna balls on all sides. Add the remaining 5 tbsp of wine, the remaining chicken broth and salt. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. The tuna balls seem to absorb a lot of liquid during cooking, so add more chicken broth if needed.
