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

Thanks, Dusty. Since I don't eat land animals and don't have allot of free
time, I rely heavily upon the ease of eating tuna (I also like canned
mackerel and salmon).

I am always looking for ways to create new dishes. I'm just not up to the
usual tuna salad every day.

Something you may want to try is to make tuna patties. Just use your salmon
patty recipe and substitute the tuna instead. Tasty.

I love the smelly oily fishy pink kind of tuna, and have finally found some
sources.

What I'm still wishing for is something like saltine crackers to eat it on:
something white and dry to soak up all that salty fishy oil. Wasa bread
is good but not the same comfort food....

Hm, somewhere I saw a reference to 'cooking' popcorn in oil, rather than
air-popping it. For me cooking would interfere with the flavor of the oil,
but maybe I should try putting the oil on top of popcorn, maybe Yaya's
herbal popcorn....

For other tuna dishes, what about a tuna-noodle casserole using Dreamfield's
low-carb pasta? Or some dish like tetrazini?

I used to make a casserole with layers of tuna, cream of mushroom soup, and
potato chips. Tastewise it ought to work with cauliflower or water chestnuts
(few carbs) or some other potato substitute, tho a dry/crisp/fried sort of
texture for the 'chips' would be nice.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm actually headed to Costco today, and if I
don't like the tuna I get there, DH has promised he won't let the remainder
go to waste.

Also, I've made Thai soup before--yum. Never before with tuna. Maybe I'll
try it that way.
