bradm Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 On an impulse while shopping yesterday, I picked up a tin of flaked white tuna (in water). Aside from making tuna salad, or spreading it on bread with cheese for tuna melts, I'm at a loss as to what else to make with it. Does anybody have any suggestion? (Note that I don't want to make a full tuna casserole.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahbelle Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 U can make a salad with it.. I had a spicy tuna salad in Thailand that was just some chili peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, probably some sort of oil, lime juice..it was really yum!Also, maybe U can make some sushi with it??One of my fav, things ever is the pasta tuna salad with Mayo, Tuna, pasta and celery...yum... I feel like eating tuna now too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 1. KD and tuna with green onions and mushrooms. 2. Better and healthier is a Salade Nicoise. Some stuffy frenchmen will poo poo you for not using a tuna steak but it's a tasty main dish salad. Here's one recipe I used last week that came out great (just toss some vinaigrette in with the flaked tuna): http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/108337 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the ones with egg noodles and peas....and cheese and onion mixed in and cracker crumbs on top. Macaroni is my favourite noodle for it.

MarcO Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 take a couple of tins of good tuna and mix it thoroughly with ricotta and parmesan cheeses, anchovy paste (or chopped fillets), minced garlic and thin slices of roasted red peppers.Then use this mixture to stuff manicotti shells. Bake them off under some good tomato sauce, or a bechamel suace, or rosee sauce, whatever.Serve it with a salad. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may combine this idea with M.O.B.E.'s idea of using rolled-up fresh lasagna noodles.What I did last week (and what I may do again tonight) is just boil up some pennini (little penne) noodles along with frozen mixed vegetables, toss with the tuna and some flavourful oil, and eat, as kind of a tuna/noodle pasta/salad dish.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 that sounds awesome marco, you sir are a man of many talentsi can't say i've ever had tuna casserole but now i'm starting to wonder why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I've done Brad's thing with Pesto and it's pretty good. MarcO I like how you think.Incidentally my franco-Ontarien roommate in university would pull his shirt up over his nose anytime someone made KD and tuna. or even just opened a can of tuna for some other reason.Another favorite of mine is to buy the really really good tuna in olive oil, add s&p and layer it on toast with sauerkraut and gruyere and broil it until the cheese melts. Kind of a Tuna Reuben I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I had an idea over the weekend, but I'm not sure it would work: tuna cakes. Similar to crab cakes (or what I think of as crab cakes), it would involve making a (thin, maybe 1/4" of 3/8") patty out of tuna, onions, spices, and maybe breadcrumbs + beaten egg to hold it together. Coat in flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs, and then shallow-fry until golden brown.I'm wondering how well it'll work. Anybody have any ideas?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 it was AWESOME! unfortunately, we forgot to add the onion. But I add some diced onion to my serving and mixed it in. It was fine that way. It wouldn't be the same without onions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
