Default More canned tuna, try these ideas

Canned tuna provides an easy, inexpensive lowcarb meal with benefits for the
heart, etc. Here are several ideas that have worked for me and that might
make it more enjoyable for some of you.



First, buy Costco’s Kirkland albacore. By far the best I have ever found. It
is packed solid with only a little water. It has either no smell or very
slight smell. Price is right, about one dollar a can.



Second, a chemist would tell you that what you smell in tuna are amine type
compounds, which are present in all living things. To neutralize these basic
compounds to eliminate the smell, we need an acid compound. The acid can be
from citrus fruits, vinegar, ginger, mustard and many other foods. Mix them
with the tuna and walla, the smell goes away.



For example, many times I will mix a can of Kirkland tuna with mayonnaise,
mustard, jalapenos pickled in vinegar and onions. Delicious.



Also, I love Thai fish soup. So I tried making some at home using canned
tuna. It turned out great. Well, not as good as a restaurant but good.



If you can find the ingredients, it is easy to make. About one tablespoon of
Mamya Curry Paste, one half cup of coconut milk, one cup of water, and one
can of tuna.



Boil the curry in the coconut milk for about three minutes, add the water
and then the tuna. Enjoy
