Ideas for canned tuna→[More:]
I make two things with canned tuna: tuna salad sandwiches and tuna noodle casserole. What else can I do with it?
And I have everything to make that recipe tonight, so I will. I don't have any "meat" (except for canned tuna) for dinner tonight. This works perfectly. Thanks again!
amyms, great ideas. I particularly like the stir fry idea. Thanks!
My flatmate and I would make this quite often - heat up some leftover rice in a wok or fry pan, add can of tuna, add spinach and then grated cheese and even a bit of mayo. Freshly cracked black pepper and YUM.
Also, filling for tuna kimbab. It has the usual veggie (carrots, pickled daikon, cucumber, spinach, or anything you want in there) and egg omlette filling, with the addition of tuna mixed with mayo nestled in perilla leaves. Perilla leaves tend to be optional, but if you can get a hold of some, do use them because they add a little something else to the whole thing. Kind of accentuates and kills the tinny fishiness of not so great canned tuna and another level of aromatics.
We love pasta tossed with black olives, tomato, tuna, and grated feta. A friend used to make a tuna salad with tuna, sliced green grapes, and wild rice. It was delicious and lovely in the summer.
