Quickie Tuna Noodles

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 20:19:11 -0500

Disclaimer - this is NOT gourmet! This is one of my "Emergency Quickies", when dinner needs to be done, and needs to be done NOW. I've made several variations of this, with either cheddar or parmesan cheese, and whatever "Cream of..." soup I had on hand. My kids prefer their veggies on the side, so we usually have peas or carrots as a side dish, but I'm sure they'd be great just thrown in the sauce, too. Send me a review with your modifications, I could always use new ideas for this one! -- posted by Gatorbek

Ahi Tuna Marinade

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 01:04:56 -0400

Our family was first introduced to the concept of "rare" Ahi Tuna when my sister-inlaw opened an inland NJ seafood restaurant. Frequently, she tested new recipes on us as well as her family & friends. The first time I tasted it, I was surprised to find out how good the rare tuna was! I then decided to create my own marinade that was more to our liking. The trick is to just sear the fish on a hot frying pan for 1-2 minutes per side and then serve immediately. -- posted by Acadia

Grilled Tuna With Chipotle Ponzu and Avocado Salsa

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 18:27:10 -0400

My daughter made this last night and had a taste and was pleasantly surprised! This is a great example of how bold Asian and Latin flavors can work well together. The orange and lime juice are in place of the rice vinegar = the acidic ingredient used in a Japanese ponzu dipping sauce. The hot, smoky chipotle chiles give it that extra kick! The avocado salsa gives it that cooling feeling. Cooking Light Magazine, November 2005. You can also use the ponzu with chicken! -- posted by Manami

Ceviche

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 21:57:58 -0400

Ceviche is a light and refreshing, chilled citrus-marinated seafood salad which originated in Peru. The acidity of the marinade denatures the protein structure of the fish, essentially "cooking" it. The result is a less fishy-tasting dish than other uncooked seafood. Note: Other types of fresh seafood (such as lobster, shrimp, scallops, octopus, etc) may be substituted for the fish, if desired. Always purchase the freshest seafood you can find, preferably sushi-grade. -- posted by Sephardi Kitchen

Easy to put together, this salad is low cal and low fat. No mayo or sour cream. Serve with saltine crackers, baked tortilla chips or tostadas.

Tuna, Lime and Cilantro Baked Potato

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:13:22 -0500

This zesty baked potato is very easy and light on calories. If you wish, chop a red pepper into small pieces and stir into the mix. If you're cooking an ovenful of potatoes, increase the temperature. Use metal skewers or baking prongs pushed through the potatoes to reduce the cooking time by up to a quarter. Rubbing a few drops of oil into the skin before cooking and sprinkling salt around the potatoes makes the skin extra crispy. -- posted by English_Rose

Catherine Ann's Enticing Tuna Salad - the Longmeadow Farm

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 02:04:24 -0400

This recipe was saved from many years ago (35) when my then future MIL and I would enjoy a cool, refreshing "time-out" on her screened in porch. Never finding tuna in a can" or a tuna from "anywhere" to be especially great tasting, particularly to my immature palette (I was probably 19 yers.old) I would hem and haw about how I was already full, wasn't hungry, etc...etc...until one day, I thought I would take the plunge and just eat it. And it was as delightful as promised. Maybe it was the time spent with this woman that had such an impact on my life, maybe it was the summer breeze softly making the wind chimes "tinkle" in the distance, either way, I have loved this method of making this simple sandwich ever since. So with great fondness for a great woman, I present to you, the reader, Catherine-Anne's simply lovely tuna salad. -- posted by Andi of Longmeadow Farm

Home-Style Tuna Casserole

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 02:59:28 -0400

So I bought some Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese Dinner on sale thinking it would be a comfort food like the regular mac 'n cheese when you don't have time to cook. I conjured up childhood memories of those "special occasions" when Mom let us eat food from a box. When I actually tried it the fake cheese was the most disgusting thing I ever tasted, and I realized your tastebuds grow up too. This recipe does a good job of covering up that boxed food taste, but it's simple enough you don't have to spend all day in the kitchen. I used cream of mushroom soup and doubled the tuna and the vegetable (green beans in place of peas) to get rid of the macaroni and cheese flavor. I did skip the bread crumbs and butter, but I have to say it's pretty impressive for an instant tuna casserole. If you love Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese Dinner, you should try this.

Curried Tuna Stretcher Salad

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:55:00 -0400

This is what I do when I have to make a couple cans of tuna feed a BUNCH of people. If you don't like curry- leave it out! It's still good. -- posted by Chef #1421935

Italian Tuna Fish Salad

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:46:43 -0500

This comes from an old Saint Rocco church cook book. I am posting this as written, but adjustments in can sizes will have to be made because they just don't make the same size cans anymore. The ingredients may sound strange, but it really does taste good. It would really make a nice lite lunch. -- posted by Naturelover

Tuna Patties

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 16:54:25 -0500

Simple dinner idea. We serve this with a veggie (usually broccoli or spinach) and either mac & cheese or fried potatoes. You can use cracker crumbs instead of breadcrumbs. It's just to soak up some moisture. The patties can be made earlier and set in the fridge. I've never frozen them, so you'll need to do your own experimentation for that! You can cook these in a George Foreman grill, or in a skillet or frying pan. We like them fried! -- posted by Angel Stowe

Iraqi Potato Cakes With Tuna Filling (Batata Charp)

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:20:22 -0500

These are crispy fried potato cakes with a tuna and light vegetable filling that is just delicious. DH liked them with the tuna added though it is not traditional. If you prefer you can leave the tuna out for the original vegetarian version. I serve them with a corn free ketchup and plain yogurt to dip them in, sour cream would be good too. The original recipe is from The Complete Middle East Cookbook by Tess Mallos. -- posted by UmmBinat

Festive Tuna Salad

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:27:13 -0500

You could serve this as a 1st course for company; it is not your usual mayo/tuna salad. The addition of fresh mushrooms and green peas really does the trick. I usually make a lighter version where I will strain the whey out of some plain yoghurt in a sieve and use 1/3 strained yoghurt and 2/3 mayo. If using this method the yogurt must be drained really well. I add the peas when they are still frozen; they thaw quickly and I like them cold in the salad and they do not get mushy -- posted by Deantini
