What to do with tuna?

SuperCrsa

I am looking for a way to bump up my proteins with tuna! Been doing the whole tuna and mayo sandwich, and tuna salads but that is getting a little boring. Looking for a sharing of ideas and recipes!

Here's some that I got off google!

This is absolutely my favourite 'diet' food - TUNA BAKE, courtesy of some kind person on MFP a while ago. I'm going to experiment with crab and salmon versions soon. I always add a load of seasoning - sometimes jerk, sometimes garlic, sometimes whatever else I fancy.....I estimate the calories to be 239 per serving, based on using reduced fat cheese and butter.

Serves : 4

30g butter
2 tablespoons flour
350ml boiling water
40g dry chicken noodle soup mix
300g frozen peas, sweetcorn and carrot mix
1 (400g) tin tuna, drained
100g mature Cheddar cheese, grated

Prep:10min › Cook:30min › Ready in:40min

Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Boil vegetables until tender, then drain and set aside.
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add flour and mix for 2 minutes, then stir in water and soup mix. Cook until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Add tuna and vegetables to the saucepan and mix. Transfer into a baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

I only do one thing with mine

Open tin of tuna and drain and empty in a bowl
layer on top around 80g pre-cooked broccoli
On top of that sprinkle 50g grated cheddar cheese

Bang in microwave (800w) for around 1 min and then eat. Works out around 360 cals (46g Protein) Looks plain but the broccoli and cheese add lots of flavour to it.

I often have tuna mayo for lunch too but try to jazz it up by adding chopped red onion, peppers, cucumber, maybe a tin of beans or chickpeas (extra protein) and sweetcorn. Mix with a little low fat mayonnaise and add a bit of dried oregano and tabasco. I used to spoon it on to crackers but now use little gem lettuce leaves instead. I like the different textures and bit of spice!
