Ways to cook tuna

[ncderek]

I love tuna - cheap and healthy, always make a toasted sandwich with wheat bread, mayoniase, relish, and swiss cheese. Wondering what else I can do with tuna, that's quick and delicious

[CharliC]

Add a can of beans (butter beans, kidney beans etc.), a chopped red pepper and some tomato sauce (like passata). Yum...

I like to mix w/an egg and italian bread crumbs... form into a patty and cook on stovetop. Melt some cheese on top and eat on toasted wheat bread.

[ncderek]

wow, both sound good...

so tuna out of the can, beans, pepper, tomato sauce, cook or eat raw?

and tuna out of the can, a raw egg and bread crums, stove? or cook the egg first?

Dont precook the egg, you need it for consistency to keep the tuna burger together, sorta like adding eggs to meatballs. If you make the patty flat enough, the egg will cook on the stovetop.

i like to mix in some mayo, melt a little bit of pepper jack cheese, and some lemon pepper.

lemon pepper bring out good flavore in tuna

A few ideas:

Tuna patty:
-tuna, egg, bread crumbs, spices mixed together and fried like a burger

Tuna wrap:
-tuna, salsa and melted cheddar in a wrap

Tuna and quinoa:
-tuna, quinoa and salsa mixed together

If you want quick, don't cook it all all (or very little).

It's good cold or heated up, so whichever you fancy. If you want to heat it, you can either do it in a saucepan or just nuke it for 2 minutes.

He asked about ways to COOK tuna. I don't think it's a stretch to assume that he would be starting with raw tuna. Besides, tuna steaks are pretty cheap.

I eat it straight out of the can. Add a little Tony's and hotsauce for decliciousness in about 15 seconds.

[belairdfence99]

Mix it with
Dijon Mustard

Onions

Tomato Sauce

Salsa

[ncderek]

i tried the egg, bread crums, peppers, and tuna thing tonight, pretty good. a little dry so i added mayonaise and relish

[ASIAN NIGHTMARE]

Stirfry 1-2 cans tuna (depending on your protein needs) with onions, garlic, broccoli or whatever fresh/frozen veggies you want

Add Soy sauce, Honey garlic or whatever

Serve over Brown rice or ww pasta
