Re: Tuna recipes

Before I gave up gluten, I used to make my own white sauce for tuna pasta bakes and it was yummy and it's done like this:

- In a pan, you put in 25g butter, let it melt, then add a tablespoon of flour and stir for a minute so it all combines, then you gradually whisk in a little milk at a time until it has the consistency of custard, stir in a little salt and that's a white sauce. Then you toss in cooked pasta (my family prefer tagliatelle), a small tin of tuna, mix it together, dump it all into an ovenproof dish, sprinkle some mature cheddar on top and then either grill it or bake at a high temperature until the cheese lightly browns and it's a great comfort food

The other thing I do with tinned tuna is put it in sandwiches; either a tuna melt toasted sandwich which contains tuna, mature cheddar, cream cheese, salt and pepper then whilst it's toasting, the cheese melts in the middle. The other sandwich I make is with untoasted bread; cream cheese, chopped cucumber, tuna and a little cheddar. I don't like sweetcorn cos' it doesn't suit me but some people like that in a tuna melt. I don't like mayonnaise which is why I prefer to use cream cheese.

One other thing I do with tinned tuna is mix it in mashed potato and make it into fishcakes. You could panne it (ie dip in flour, egg and breadcrumbs before shallow frying) but as I eat it gluten free, I mix arrowroot powder into the mash so that it cooks with a crispy edge when I shallow fry it. Ratio: one small tuna tin to one medium baking potato... add seasonings, arrowroot powder, mix together and shallow fry small patties of it. Serve with ketchup. I've never added this myself (though think I should) but I also suggest adding finely chopped parsley to the mix before frying.

I've never tried fresh tuna before though I've been curious about trying a tuna nicoise salad.

I used to make tomatoes and tuna pasta, mayo, sweetcorn and tuna pasta (cold pasta), i know some guys eat tuna raw with rice to ;bulk up' or something which sounds gross to me

Don't knock it till you've tried it. I thought it sounded gross too until a Turkish friend made it for me for lunch; simply cooked rice, some lettuce and a small tin of tuna and it didn't taste bad actually (and I'm a picky eater so I don't easily like new things)

Re: Tuna recipes

Depending on how much you make...

Cook and drain she'll noodles put in pot/mixing bowl
Add any number of canned tuna to taste
Add a bag of frozen green peas that have been rinsed and drained.
Add fresh tomatoes cut into wedges
Add pitted green olives from a jar as well as a good splash of the olive juice
Add a 1/2 to a full bottle of Italian salad dressing and mix. Whatever your taste is
All done set to eat

Can add some Greek cheese
Can add some green or red bell pepper
Can add some pickles or cucumber slices....


Little more healthy than mayonnaise, also good dish if not going to be in fridge for a bit like picnics, except if you add cheese it needs to be in fridge.
