Oriental Tuna Salad (still a salad)

Romaine lettuce, shredded (or your favorite packaged salad)
green onion, diced
julienned carrot
1 can tuna, drained
toasted sesame oil
rice wine vinegar

Toss lettuce, green onion, carrot, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar
Flake tuna and add to salad


Linguine/Spaghetti and Tuna

Cook linguine/spaghetti as directed but cut the time by a minute or
two so pasta is a bit less than al dente
In a frying pan, saute shallot, garlic, red and green pepper in a
small amout of olive oil.
Drain linguine/spaghetti and add to frying pan. Flake tuna into the
mix. Toss briefly until heated. Season with salt and pepper and
shredded parmesan.

Sesame and tuna are two tastes I would not imagine together, but I may
give this a try. The pasta dish sounds decent, also. Dang - every
time I look at this board I get hungry.

Place a portion of well-refrigerated canned tuna on a plate next to
sliced tomato, pequillo peppers, good olives. Sprinkle with
good olive oil. Eat as an appetizer.

This works well with canned skipjack tuna or any canned tuna labeled
"solid".

Tuna pizza. Yes, seriously. It's evidently big in the Netherlands for a
reason!

Don't knock it 'till you've tried it!

This is one of my favourite recipes. I have tried to convert it (translate
it?!) from Australian.
If I have gone too far wrong I am sure someone will correct me.

Tuna Cheese Crust Pies

makes 6

1 ½ Aus cups all purpose (plain) flour, sifted (I measured 8 oz on my
scales)

250g tub cottage cheese (not the creamed style) (again about 8 oz)

125g butter, melted (this is just a bit less than a stick)

185g can tuna, drained and flaked (about 6 oz)

3 eggs lightly beaten

½ Aus cup milk (4 ½ fl oz)

¼ Aus cup sun dried tomatoes or roast peppers (capsicum) (4 ½ oz)

(or you could substitute frozen peas and corn kernels)

2 scallions (shallots) sliced

(you could also add some finely chopped herbs such as chives or parsley)

1 Aus tbsp lemon juice (just roughly to taste)

½ Aus cup grated cheddar cheese (9 oz)

Combine flour, cottage cheese and butter. Mix to a dough. Refrigerate for
at least 15 minutes.

Press the dough into 6 texas muffin sized pans. Prick pastry with fork.

Bake in 200C/400F oven for 15 mins.

Combine the rest of the ingredients except the cheese.

Fill the pastry cases with the mixture. Top with cheese.

Bake 180C -190C/350F-375F for 20 - 25 minutes until golden and firm.

Run a knife around the edge to flip them out.



You could use salmon for these, or omit altogether for vegies.



Great for picnics and good hot or cold.



Where did I find my conversions? Well apart from the scales I used a ready
reckoner

they gave my in 1974 when we converted to Metric.

This sounds really good! Thanks for sharing. I so dislike the typical
tune noodle casserole.

Sky

P.S. I very much appreciate the metric and imperial measurements.
Thanks for including both in your recipe.

Bigtime. I made some last weekend and just had two bites, then froze it.
We had it tonight. It freezes well, is cheap and satisfying.

Rice tuna salad. Cook rice, cool under running water and dress with crumbled
tuna and what else you like in it: olives, capers, pickled anything (celery,
carrot...), thinly cubed cheeses as Emmenthaler or pressed Asiago...

I forgot a classic salad: canned tuna + canned white beans ("spagna"
variety, but many others will do) + thinly sliced onions, EVO oil and salt.

My favorite "not-so junk food" gone to gout POISON! ((

I used to toss a small can of solid white albacore into the final mix of a

I never claimed I was normal.

When we make tuna salad, what you'd make tuna salad
sandwiches out of, what I normally do is put a layer of tuna
salad on a slice of bread, top with cheese, and put it in
the toaster oven until the cheese is bubbly.

Andy's Green Death Tuna Salad Sandwiches

Ingredients:

1 12 oz. can (340g) Solid white tuna (albacore)
1 medium avocado
3 tablespoons mayo (or to a firm "glop" consistency)
1 generous tablespoon fine minced celery
1 teaspoon fine minced/seeded jalapeno pepper (optional)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Lettuce
Bread
Slice of your favorite cheese


Directions:

1. Fine chop the can of tuna into a bowl.

2. Peel and seed an avocado and place flesh into bowl. Mash with a fork.

3. Add tuna, celery, pepper and optional jalapeno to bowl and mix.

4. Add mayo, mixing well to achieve desired gloppiness.

5. Toast bread, cover one piece of toast with cheese slice and spoon on an
amount of "green death" to your liking and spread evenly, top with shredded
lettuce and other slice of toast.

6. Enjoy!

Alternate Step 5: Grill cheese bread instead of toasting, then peel open,
inserting green death and lettuce, re-cover and enjoy!

Depending on how adventurous you are, you could also try making
onigiri (Japanese rice "balls").

These are basically sushi rice with flaked tuna mixed in or in a
pocket at the center, shaped, and wrapped in nori (dried seaweed) or
rolled in toasted sesame seeds. Although they translate as rice balls,
they are usually trianglar. They make great snacks for traveling or
hiking.

Searching on ongiri will get you many recipes hits.

Tuna Tacos (Seriously, they really are good!)
Tuna stuffed tomatoes
Pasta Salad (ok, so that's just a variation on tuna salad, but it's good)
Chip dips


Not sure what else...

I've altered my tuna salad recipe lately and have been mixing in about
1/4 head of sliced iceberg lettuce into the tuna with chopped black
olives and lime based may.

It's good!

Tuna with mac and cheese is very good. :-)
Mom made it a few times. You can also add chopped hard boiled eggs to
that.

One other item to make with tuna that I'd forgotten about, substitute it
for salmon in a salmon patty recipe. Mix it with eggs and some corn
meal, make into patties and fry.

You were adding good nutrition to the mix. I love it with real cheese, made
on top of the stove and milky, with tuna. Delish. But a "trigger food" that
I tend to eat too much of, so I don't make it often now. It's perfect for
kids and teenagers, who can still burn off all those carbs and all that fat!

I like tuna patties, but I make 'em with eggwhites and some oats, and used
to add a little mozz on top. Now I just use some chopped green onion mixed
in. Also tried some teriyake tuna patties recently that were suprisingly
not bad.

Drain well, flake and mix with mashed potato, finely chopped celery,
onion, parsley and enough beaten egg to bind together. Form into
hamburger-sized patties. Fry in a small amount of butter.

This can be made with any kind of cooked flaky fish, most often cod.

I've added homemade bacon bits (bacon rules!) to my version of Tuna
Salad because I read about it here on RFC. I didn't care too much for
the addition; it was more a textural problem than it was anything else -
I found the crunch bothersome in contrast with the tuna and little taste
enhancement. But, that doesn't mean it's not good As with anything,
milage does vary.

OK, I know it's another tuna salad, but here's my version.

++++++++++++++++++++ begin recipe ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++++++++++++++++
Sky's Tuna Salad
++++++++++++++++++++++

2 small cans of solid, white tuna packed in water*
2 sticks celery, finely chopped
3 hard boiled eggs, finely chopped
1 small half red** onion, finely chopped
cayenne pepper (powdered)***
red pepper flakes***
some garlic (optional)***
lots of poppy seeds (a whole lot!)
3 to 4 parts*** mayo (MW not recommended)
1 part mustard*** of choice
1 part Durkees Special Sauce**** (optional)
dash++ Worchestershire
dash apple cider vinegar
spoonful (plus or minus) extra virgin olive oil
dash Tobasco
S&P
roasted slivered almonds for garnish

In a bowl, combine celery, hard boiled eggs, and onion. To that,
gently mix the dry spices, poppy seeds, and optional garlic until
integrated. In a separate container, add and mix well together the
'wet' ingredients: mayo, mustard, Worchestershire sauce, apple cider
vinegar, olive oil, and tobasco. Drain/press tuna and gently add to the
first bowl with the 'dry' ingredients. Then, fold together the dry and
wet ingredients until desired texture is obtained. Serve on toasted
bread as a sandwich or in hollowed whole tomatoes on a bed of lettuce.
Garnish with roasted slivered almonds.

This recipe is versatile. Add, change, and/or remove ingredients of
choice and their portions. For example, cilantro, parsley, edamame,
chickpeas, peas, zuchinni, bacon, avocado, bell peppers, spinach,
brocolli, carrots, whatevers. Don't forget, the Ultimate Kitchen Rule
always applies

* use canned tuna packed in oil if desired
** yellow, white, and/or green onions can substituted
*** portion to taste

Heh!

I used to just mix some water pack canned tuna with some mild or medium
"Pace" brand picante sauce.

Simple and tasty.

I'll bet there are a dozen variations on this. ;-)
With various seasonings. I wonder how an "Italian" seasoning with a bit
of tomato would go? You can also use flour of course instead of corn
meal, but I think corn would work better personally.

I've only ever used egg, cornmeal and salt free lemon pepper. I like to
keep it simple.

Mexican might be good too with some chopped peppers and a hint of Cumin.

Never thought of adding oats.

Rice flour might work too, with a smidge of Oyster sauce, garlic and
ginger to make it Oriental.

That reminds me of a salad I used to make. You start with a box of macaroni
and cheese. Cook it as directed on the package, then cool it down. Add
plenty of mayo, a can or two of tuna, some frozen peas, chopped celery,
chopped onion, chopped parsley and a bit of sweet pickle relish. Very
yummy!

That actually sounds very good. :-)

I've eaten cold leftover mac and cheese more than once in the past.

The only thing I'd not add is the onions. I just cannot stomach raw
onions. Never have been able to.

Chives or even Scallions, yes!

My comfort food with canned tuna is -

Kraft macaroni and cheese (preferably with 2 cheese sauce packets)
Chopped hard-boiled eggs
Crushed tomatoes
Peas
Tuna

I've just finished reading 34 replies to your post. They answered a
question, "How can you make canned tuna fish even worse than it
already is?"

If I am VERY unlucky, there will turn out to be a Hell after all, and
Satan will read this thread.

Some things don't do well for putting into cans. Fish, spinach,
asparagus, peas.
As a White suburban kid, born in '60, the idea of fresh tuna was
foreign. When I first tasted it, probably in my 20s, it was hard to
believe that it was from the same type of fish as that canned stuff.

Some things work pretty well in cans, tomato paste, black olives,
Swanson broth.
