Hello, All! I think I remember reading a topic about canned tuna and recipes but I can't for the life of me find it. I have a can at home and want to make something different and YUMMY! Any ideas? :happy:

    Tuna w/ water (not vegi oil) I love it!

    I do some really simple stuff with it though
    Tuna, Mayo, Relish and chopped celery. It makes an amazing sandwich, or wrap it up in a tortilla! Surprisingly Walmart (Great Value) Tortillas are the best I've found! only 60cal per - This makes my lunch around 250~ cal for 3 tuna delight filled Tortillas.

    Best of luck!

    I was digging through the fridge, trying to figure this very thing out the other day. What I ended up doing was dumping the drained tuna in a bowl, adding a serving of Olde Cape Cod Fat-Free Sesame Ginger dressing and a scant teaspoon of crushed garlic. I put that in a pita pocket with some spring mix, and voila--a new twist on tuna salad!

    some simple ideas:
    tuna salad: can tuna, celery, red onion, gherkin, jalapenos, low fat natural yogurt.
    tuna pie: saute onion add a can of tomotoes, tuna (chili), (capers), top with mashed potato/sweet potato, bake.
    tuna fish cake: tuna, mash potato, chilli, onions, (coriander)light mayo, mix it all up and bake or saute, serve with a little sweet chilli sauce.

    how bout making a simple tuna pasta?By changing around the ingredients you use you could end up with a variety of different versions. BTW I use whole pasta, veggies, my favorite canned tuna in water [of course] and well a little regular mayo [not too much]. You end up with a really fulling meal.

    Do not ask me why I have this saved in my favorites, it may uncover some wierd and hidden meaning about me.

    If you happen to have kim chi (korean spicy fermented cabbage) this is an awesome high protien idea..

    Lightly saute about a quarter cup of kim chi with two minced garlic cloves and a splash of soy sauce. When the delicious roasted kim chi smell wafts up to you, add the drained tuna and stir. Next, add two egg whites but dont stir it so that it cooks in chunks mixed into the tuna and kim chi. Once the eggs are cooked, you're done! This is really flavorful and super filling and only about 300 calories. I want a bowl right now...

    Last night, I whizzed up some cottage cheese and made tuna melts, very healthy and low calorie too yet tasted super creamy and rich!

    Ok..I don't know if I'm the only one but I never eat tuna. I really wish I could, but I can't.

    And this will sound weird and most people do not believe me, but 9 out of 10 times I've attempted to make a tuna salad, I find something in the can....scale usually...or something that just doesn't belong there. I am the ONLY one I know who has ever had this happen to and I've tried SEVERAL different brands. I even meticulously run it under water over a collandar and use my fingers to break it down to double check for stuff like that and I'll still find things! lol

    Someone please tell me I'm not the odd one here!!!

    I may try again sometime due to the fact that tuna can be an excellent go to protein source when your strapped for time...but I was just curious.

    :brokenheart:

    I like to take a baked potato and add a little bit of tuna shredded cheese and salsa to it. It is delish!
