Lets get those TUNA recipes going!!

tuna mac and cheese!

Pomodori Ripieni

Tomatoes, halved and gutted (it's late, I have a headcold and can't think of the proper word in english, sorry) turn them upside down on a plate to get rid of excess water.

In a bowl, add your tuna and chop up finely italian parsely, red onion (preferably fresh if you can get them) capers and add a tsp of your favourite mayonnaise, or enough to get a nice consistency. Can also a bit of fresh chilli if you want, or even anchovies.

salt your tomatoes, if not if prefered. Then heap your tuna mixture into your halved tomatoes.. can add grated parmigiano on top, or not. Can make prior and store in fridge as well.

Alternatively, instead of mayonnaise you could use ricotta and then bake your tomatoes, or even use capsicums, courgettes etc.

I like the non-cooked version in summertime, its so easy and a really refreshing dish.

I love tuna and was needing some recipes. Bump for later.

Bump!

can of Tuna + 2 tbsp catalina + 1tsp mustard + garlic powder

mix it up and let it sit in fridge for 10-15 mins if you have the time, melds the flavour. Tastes good right away tho!

Then I just scoop onto wasa crackers or five grain crackers. Sooooo yummy.


another simple one is to mix tuna, lil low fat mayo or miracle whip, chopped onion, fresh or dry dill, garlic powder and chopped celery, salt and pepper to taste, spread on your carb of choice - wasa, bagel, bread, englis muffin and sit under broiler for a few mins, then top with a lil shredded cheese of your choosing and broil til cheese is melt. Squirt a lil mustard on top and munch away.

Both of these are protein packed, low cal and VERY filling. I usually have a side of tomatoes and cucumbers in vinagrette on the side of tuna. It just tastes good together!

Last night I made a tuna wrap and it was delish (and high in protein!). Really simple to make too:

Ingredients:
- Canned Tuna
- Bread/Pita/Tortilla
- Creamy dressing of your choice
- Vegetables

1) Mix canned tuna with dressing of your choice (I used tzatziki instead of mayo)

2) Put mixture on to a heated tortilla.

3) Add veggies (I used avocado and lettuce)

4) Wrap and enjoy

I pour out the oil from two cans of tuna into a pan. Then I fry onion and garlic in it. I add vegetables, and after they are cooked through, I add the tuna. Then I pour it all over pasta for two.

I also like to add vegetables, green onions, low sodium soy sauce and tuna to Ramen Soup.

fry some chopped garlic in a little bit of oil, add some chopped onion, add a little salt. When onion is soft, add a little tumeric, chilli powder, cumin powder and corriander powder, mixed curry powder and some chopped green chilli and chopped fresh corriander, stir until all is mixed well. Then add drained canned tuna. Keep stirring until everything is mixed properly then serve with rice or in a wrap.

you can omit the chilli if you are not keen on hot food.....mmmmmm really yummy!!

I love Bumble Bee's new lemon pepper tuna. Add some hardboiled egg and Vlasic sugar free gherkins - mix well- chill adn eatjust
like that.

In a pan saute some smart balance margarine with 2 - 3 generous tbls. chopped garlic, add cooked pasta (ramen or angel hair) can of tuna and a vegetable if you would like......I use canned boneless pink salmon too (tastes even better than the tuna). You can sprinkle some parmesan over the top if you'd like......yummy!

All of these sound yummy x

Here's how I make my tuna salad:

12oz tuna
1 cup mayo-light
2 stocks celery
1 onion
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish


Yummy I love me some tuna!

whole wheat pasta - cook as directed
tuna drained
sauce - cream of mushroom soup or your choice
veggies - all and anything you like

place tuna sauce and veggies in pan to cooked then pour on top of noodles.

Can also use chips but more calories.
