In need of 1001 things to do with tinned tuna !!

More4me

Here is a dry version of Tuna curry, which I cook regulaly and eat it with pitta or mix with pasta for lunch.
1 med onion sliced
1/2 Green Pepper thinly sliced
1/2 Red Pepper Thinly sliced
2 tbs oil
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/4 tsp chilli powder (adjust to taste)
1/4 tsp Salt
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or crushed
1 can Tuna in brine drained
1 fresh green chilli finely chopped
1/2 inch piece of ginger, grated
1/4 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp fresh Coriander chopped
Pitta bread and cucumber raita, plain yoghurt or sour cream to serve

Heat the oil in a wok or a heavy bottom pan and stir fry cumin seeds until they become brown
Add the garlic, onions and peppers and stir fry for 5 minutes or until onions brown
Add the cumin powder, coriander powder, chilli powder and salt and cook for 2 minutes
If the mixture sticks to the pan add little water
Add tuna, green chillies, ginger and 50 ml water and cook for 5 minutes, stirring now and again
Add the garam masala, lemon juice and the fresh coriander and continue to cook for another 2/3 minutes.
Serve in warm pitta cut length wise topped with either raita, plain yoghurt or sour cream. Roll it in tortila wrap with salad for lunch or as canape, pitta cut into one inch wide and topped with the tuna mixture.

i posted on here recently about having some hude tins of tuna and once i have made only dish i know which is a tuna and pasta bake, i have only made a small dent into whats left. can do some sandwiches but even then would have loads left. am hoping some of you could help with some recipes that i could make and then perhaps freeze so that we dont have to either eat it all very quickly or waste it. any recipes would be great, the easier amd most impressive would obviously be the best kind, please help

Still pasta, but my mum does a lovely lasagne with tuna, and other vegetables, instead of beef.

Fish pie, Fish cakes. One poster on this forum has even done a tuna stir fry.

Tuna sandwich fillers or tuna bake my mum used to make it,
it was tuna, sweetcorn and mayo might have been ketchup and mized with cornflakes, crush some cornflakes over the top and bake until crispy.

My mum used it as a slice along with chips/mash/pasta/root mash etc. Or it could be used as a cold snack for picnics and thiings .

Fishcakes, mix with pasta, add into fish pie, tuna fingers (made like fishfingers).

Hmmmm can't think of anything else right now!

Hi homealone,

Tinned tuna makes lovely fishcakes. This thread has lots more ideas that should help:

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

Salad niscoise! Possibly my favourite salad because its a main meal.

I love tuna pasta bake but dh can't bear it. He's not at all fussy this is his one ''never again''meal so I can' complain

Also, predictably from me, tuna can make a very nice souflee..a little cheese and leeks with it perhaps.

If it is in tins, why do you need to use it all up now? they will store for some time.

Pretty much everything but soup works with tuna.
Fish cakes, fish parcels(tuna, veg, sauce wrapped in pastry and baked in the oven yummmmmyyy!), savoury muffins with a layer of tuna, omelette, stuffed in spud skins, tuna quiche, tuna souffle(souffle omelette is very easy and impressive- whisk egg whites, lightly fold in yolks and filling, fry in a pan until base is cooked then stick under the grill to cook the top and you get a lovely fluffy omelette!)
