Tuna in a tin

Posted by throbbing (859 days ago)

Guys what can be done with a tin of tuna? I usually chop onion, add mayo & pepper & put in a sandwich or on a baked potato. Any other ideas ie tuna & mash baked in oven or grilled some how?

i mix it with some bechamel sauce and toss with cooked pasta, top with cheese and bake in the oven. sprinkle with chili flakes

or saute with garlic, mix with bottled pesto/sundried tomato pesto and toss with cooked pasta. parmesan on top

Kedgeree!
It's sort of like fried rice with curry and tuna instead.
Fry your veggies, onion and garlic with some curry paste, then add yesterday's leftover cooked rice. Add a tin of drained tuna or salmon and stir till all hot and mixed. Eat with chutney.

makes an excellent base for a summer salad - season with lemon juice, bruised basil, mashed garlic, salt. toss with sliced tomatoes, olives, capers, as you wish. esp. good now that spring's just around the corner!

Here's a family recipe from me, measurements are approximate: Drain one small can tuna and mash the meat together with about 2 Tablespoons of mayonaise (or more if you like). Then mix this together with the following: 1 apple chopped into smallish, bite size pieces (Granny Smith or other tart apple is the best), about 2 Tablespoons chopped mild onion (if you like onion), about 2 Tablespoons celery, plus about a Tablespoon of dill pickle relish (or chopped dill pickle). Salt and pepper to taste. Serve on a bed of lettuce with saltine crackers. This is one serving of a nice, light lunch or supper. You can make this basic recipe work for two people by using two apples for the same can of tuna.

Make a pot of Kraft Dinner ( the real thing ) and throw the tuna in the pot when it's all done. Mix it up....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Carmen K has the right idea - it's really a Nicoise Salad. Look this up on google, for moreinteresting things to add

i made sichuan style hot n sour soup with it. it taste pretty much like shark's fins (for those like me who likes chinese black vinegar but boycotts shark's fins).

boil sliced pickled bamboo shoots in stock. add unflavoured tuna and tofu strips and bring to boil. finally add cornstarch and season with black vinegar and white pepper.
