Tired of plain tuna? Recipes.

[dragon316]

anybody have any tuna recipes? I am tired of tuna out of the can,any help

[Sorrow]

I'm looking into this myself. I swear Ill post here when I get everything right, but I usually make a stir fry type meal that you can reheat later. besides that the good old 2 slices of bread approach.

[BigTex]

I do a lot of tuna burgers.... I take my tuna and mix it with Mrs Dash(or seasons of your choice), Oat meal, and egg whites. I even throw in some crushed bran flakes if I really want them to be crunchy and then I fry them in a little olive oil. They taste great and reheat nicely.

[karmazon]

I usually eat tuna with honey mustard and pepper. Yesterday I made it with some onions, celery, tomatoes and honey mustard+pepper.

[Beast1]

You could buy some Miracle Whip Light and some relish and make your own little tuna, mayo, and relish sandwich. Use about a tablespoon of whip per can of tuna, about a teaspoon of relish and some whole wheat bread and voila you're done. A good source of protein, a good source of carbs, and a little helping of not so bad fat.

[YoungN'Hungry]

this one isnt that bad and its really quick and easy.

1 can tuna
1 cup rice
franks red hot
soy sauce

jus cook the rice like the box says and then heat the tuna for like a minute mix the two together and add as much franks and soy sauce as you want. very easy to eat and tastes pretty good

I actually do this sometimes.

[dragon316]

thanks for the new ideas I'll try them starting today.

[~LV~]

There's nothing wrong with using full fat mayo with your tuna as long as it fits into your daily macro requirements.

Bump that! That is the best! I've been doing that forever. Good stuff right there

[young_muscle]

My favorite recipe for tuna. Can of tuna with 2 boiled egg whites cut up get a little mayo and mix! Add salt/pepper to taste. The eggs add a lot of flavor along with some protein. It sounds grose but is very good.

[Knightmare]

I have to admit, i have quite a lotta tuna for breakfast. A can of tuna, with a can of pineapple pieces in juice. Can't even taste the flakes....

This is awesome. I wrote this down.

It sounds grose but is very good.
Isn't this true for most of what we eat? I'm eating a bowl of tuna mixed with white potatos and crushed red pepper.. (I found the pepper in the break room ..) :(

[Monk]

my fav with tuna ..2 cans of tuna.. mustard.. boiled eggs.. salt pepper..pickles chopped. lowfat mayo, onions chopped. I love this stuff. the ONLY way for tuna IMO.

[fullblown]

this is gonna sound crazy but cut up a jalepeno into small pieces and add some BBQ sauce. Its quick and tastes pretty good!

[Gammer]

Cut an avacado in half and pit it, then stuff the tuna in the holes, and throw on some fresh lemon juice, S&P, and you're good to go.

[Iceberg from Poland]

Tuna, few hard-boiled eggs an few spoons of mayo, ketchup, or Tatar`s sauce(I don`t know how you call it in U.S. it is based on eggs and vinegar with muchrooms, onions and cucumbers)

[Malice]

A really great thing to do with tuna is go buy some high protien chilli cook that up/Nuke it or what ever, then mix in a can of tuna. Let me tell you very tasty can you can hardly taste the tuna. hope ya like it

[donk]

lol i actually went as far as makin an omlet with tuna. sounds like shit but it surprised me with a little green onion in it.

[Benway83]

salsa is a great additive for tuna.

I also find mixing it 1/2 and 1/2 with salmon highly effective.

[mombasa3]

I got real tired of Tuna and switched to Talapia. Try it.

[anselmo]

When I eat tuna, instead of mixing it with mayo I use plain fat free yogurt. I add some diced pickles (or spoon full of relish if I'm lazy) and diced celery, then just eat it out of the bowl or make a sandwich with whole grain bread.

[HAWK]

SALSA....tuna and salsa is actually fuckin awesome.

[Magnum30]

If its on your budget, get the tuna in a pouch. Its almost a full serving, plus its easy to carry. Then just mix in some plain old mustard. Makes it really easy to get down and doesnt add any calories to it at all.

[Bad Intentions]

Cut an avacado in half and pit it, then stuff the tuna in the holes, and throw on some fresh lemon juice, S&P, and you're good to go.

I thought avacado's were very high in fat? or is that false?

[Shadow]

I gotta agree with YoungN'Hungry! Except i just put the tuna in straight from the tin! I get my tuna in sunflower oil, drain it a little and toss it in! so i get some healthy fats as well! grap a spoon and scoff the lot! Oh yea

[Freakshow]

my fav with tuna ..2 cans of tuna.. mustard.. boiled eggs.. salt pepper..pickles chopped. lowfat mayo, onions chopped. I love this stuff. the ONLY way for tuna IMO.

Great minds think alike Monk.

[barischeg]

can of tuna
avocado
half a lemon

open the tuna, cut the avocado in half, now grab a half fork full of tuna and other half with avocado then squezee some lemon on it, yummm..

when my mom saw me eating that she yelled out "discusting how could u eat that shit" i just kept smiling..... her face was just priceless...

you could also incorparate the tuna with canned salmon.. avocado includes healthy fats, 5 g protein, alot of vitamins and minerals...

[Bad Intentions]

thanks on the clear up of avacado fats...

[the ghost]

i mix my tuna with garlic humus instead of mayo and throw it between two slices of Arnold's 7 grain wheat bread

[Lethal_Banana]

Man, I can never get enough of tuna. My favorite (ie, simplest) meal with tuna:

6 egg whites
1 can of tuna

Fry this lot in some olive oil and spice up with salt, pepper and some garlic powder. Also, if you like - feel free to add onions and perhaps some chinese wook veggies :)

I get my tuna in oil, so I usually drain it a little before throwing it in the pan. But to be honest, I can eat tuna in any way, really - it's just great :)

[FreakALeak]

When i eat my tuna i usually just put some calorie-wise salad dressing. Theres tons of kinds to choose from. My favorites are italian and sundried tomatoe. And i eat it with whole wheat crackers in the offseason. I have also noticed alot of ppl eat it with cottage cheese and salsa. I havent tried it for myself yet, but i think im going to give it a shot.

[Toni69]

anybody have any tuna recipes? I am tired of tuna out of the can,any help

If you want..I have some italian recipies I can give you that are easy to make. Let me know and I will post or pm to you.

[gsb239]

Tuna tastes pretty good in pasta. Just take any type of cooked pasta (whole wheat or multi-grain is best), your choice of pasta sauce, some olive oil and the tuna. Heat em up together, shouldnt take more than 10 minutes once the pasta's cooked.

[dragon316]

If you want..I have some italian recipies I can give you that are easy to make. Let me know and I will post or pm to you.

It would be great you can post or pm what ever you like and thanks!!!

[IronMan360]

I like to add Dill Relish and Mustard into my Tuna. Makes it tastey

[styles]

These flavored tuna fillets are awesome (33g protein)
http://www.starkist.com/template.asp?section=products/fillets.asp

I also eat the Salmon with Lemon and Dill (25g protein)
http://www.bumblebee.com/products_indiv.jsp?prodid=915

With some brown rice or whole wheat pasta, a big glass of milk, and a couple uni-liver tabs it's a decent way to nab some protein for 3:30 PM snack.

Now I only open cans for tuna salad.

[Toni69]

It would be great you can post or pm what ever you like and thanks!!!

These are italian dishes we made at home...I am going to shorten them so you can use pre-packaged/bottled ingredients instead of from scratch. Now, if you do a lot of cooking and would rather have the real recipie and take the extra time to prepare a better tasting meal, I can pm you my family recipies on request.

Tuna and Tomato Sauce

3 cups marinara sauce (you can buy on the shelf whichever you like)
2 (or more), 6oz cans albacore tuna, packed in oil or water, drained
1 tbs capers (optinal)..if you get 'em salted...rinse them first..these are an aquired taste..try 'em first.

1 tbs fresh chopped parsely
salt and pepper

Combine sauce, tuna, capers and lemon in skillet and simmer 5 min., breaking up the tuna. Stir in parsley, salt and pepper and serve with pasta or rice.

That is it!

[RowdyRobby]

! to 2 cans of tuna, mustard, chopped onion, stuffed into a bell pepper of your choice. Yum Yum of if your not worried about carbs mix in some brown rice. and heat the whole thing ricky-ticky. Fun and Functional, unlike old people shoes which are pure fun.

Likin' this recipie..very impressed!

[Mean Machine]

Agree with the tuna and salsa, I eat it all the time and can't get tired of it.

[Stabiliser]

1 cup of rice
1 cup of tuna
1/2 cup mushroom
1/2 cup of sweet corn(canned one)

[Gunshow]

1 can of tuna, 2 pieces of whole wheat bread, a slice of low fat cheese. put everything on the bread and put the whole thing on the ole george foreman till it looks like a grilled cheese. soooo good.

[goody19]

my cheat meal... once a week.. usually monday night .... i helping of easy mac mixed with a whole can of tuna.. easy mac overtakes the tuna and all you taste is mac and cheese... unreal

[IronBreed]

one of my favorites is the packs for when your on the go. starkist has flavored tuna packs that taste great! their called tuna creations and they come in a bunch of different flavors so you can mix things up from day to day so you dont get bored with the same shit. hope that helps.

[styles]

This Salmon Frittata looks pretty good. Easy to adjust eggs to eggs & egg whites.

[sully]

I've just recently added tuna as a staple to my diet, but I have trouble eating it by itself(I might just not be used to the taste yet). I was wondering if you guys know anything I can mix it with. I read about mixing it with some eggs and I liked that. Any help would be much appreciated.

[stumblin54]

Mustard and salsa, not together, but individually with tuna are my favorite two. There's a lot of threads on tuna brotha, check 'em out. Peace.

Stumblin

[Ox]

Pickles. Half sours with my tuna and it goes down like nothing. If it's offseason, bread and butter pickles with my tuna and I can eat like 3 cans at once. MMMMMM

[Ricky P]

Ranch dressing.

[JB69]

Plain old with a glass of water. i kind of mash the tuna up so its really fine that way i can just shovel it in my mouth and down it, i do a can in about 4 - 5 mouthfulls. also this may sound stupid but what ive recently been doing to take the smell and taste away is before i eat tuna, put some cotton wool of tissue up your nose that way it takes the taste away - you cant taste without smell.

[barischeg]

try an avocado,,, healty fats...

[Young&Hungry]

I'm with stumblin on the salsa. Throw some hard boiled eggs in the mix and you have yourself a fine musclebuilding meal.

[benmatthews90]

rice and ketchup

[Aengus]

I eat it plain, just make sure not to drain the bastard.

Otherwise, some fat-free mayo will do the trick.

Or, for some real love, here is my special tuna salad recipe:

2 whole Pickles, chopped
1/2 cup Mushrooms, sliced
1 medium tomato, chopped
3 6oz cans albacore tuna ( it tastes better than light for this recipe)
little bit of pepper
1/3 (or less) cup of fat free mayo

Throw everything but the mushrooms and tomatoes in there, and mix that nightmare up, when fully mixed, throw the veggies in. Mix lightly, grab a fork, and be prepared for a fuckload of protein( about 112 grams for this size batch), minimal fat, and even less carbs. Makes 1 serving.

You can put almost any kind of veggies in there, but as I usually hit this beast when I am going low on the carbs, so I stay away from the most starchy ones. The pickles give it a good flavor, and the tomatoes give you something more pleasant to chew than dead fish.

If you are adventurous, try throwing in some fresh diced serrano or jalapeño peppers, but be careful, it will bite you back.

maybe some more celery and onions...

[Chin]

Mustard and some Pita Bread/Flat Bread with Hummus

[SFriday425]

I use a VERY little bit of light mayo and some mustard. It works out pretty well.

I'll have to give that salsa a shot. Any favorite salsas?

[JRock]

just use some A1 steak sauce its perfect

[Toni69]

pasta with light mayo, chopped jalapenos or bell peppers and kernal corn.

fresh lemon juice squeezed on top

shredded fat free or light cheese, chopped olives or jalapenos, cherry tomatoes, light mayo, and stuff inside pieces of large romaine lettuce leaves or pita bread.

tuna, canned and drained white beans (like cannellini), chopped red onion, some red or white wine vinegar, salt and pepper.

Tuna and hot sauce (tabasco)

[ironshaolin]

I heard dog shit makes you super anabolic so I mix tuna with crap. (j/k, but I'm sure we all know a few people who would do that)

Tuna with some mashed avocado, mmmm

Tuna mixed with brown rice, green beans and hot sauce

Tuna and....Cottage cheese? Try it you might be surprised

Tuna on wheat thins with cheese melted over them

Tuna on tilapia

Tuna and chicken

Tuna as a topping for steak

[Toni69]

hey..you know the tuna and cottage cheese is good..forgot that one..I dont eat dairy anymore..so it didnt cross my mind. I know a guy who would eat tuna and peanut butter! OMG! I couldnt go that far? Then again.....hmmm...depends on the circumstances I guess. LOL

[dominate77]

i put tuna, rice and garbanzo beans on a quesadilla with pepper and soy sauce...pretty good

[mattf]

Tuna and oatmeal...also the falvored tuna paks are good too....Diet Hard. Peace.

I tried the tuna and skippy natty the other day...i would say fair at best!!! It was much better with rice or boiled eggs mashed up!

[gflash77]

Frank's RedHot

[king1]

Its already been said, but tuna and cottage cheese is pretty good. Im cutting and before bed i have 1 can tuna w/ 1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese.

[train.eat.supp.sleep]

cottage cheese is great with tuna

[rocky36]

horsey sauce from arbys is good

[Toni69]

I was starving so I decided to have a healthy snack before bed. I mixed a can of albacore tuna with leftover of my Black Bean salad with lime and cumin (other carb sources recipe thread). It was really, really good! It had some crunch from the celery, a bit of smokiness from the beans and was very filling.

It makes a very blanced dish of slow digesting carbs and protein...you could probably even add some fat free or light mayo if you want it a bit creamy or moister. I loved it without the mayo. I am stuffed now!

[pandaspapa]

1 part tuna 1 part low fat cottage cheeze, couple spoons of peperoncini, sounds gross but its the bomb!

[king1]

I found this on another thread here, but i didnt see it mentioned yet in this one

1 can tuna
1 egg
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
onion (however much you want)
garlic
any other seasoning

Mix up in a bowl, form into 2 patties, fry in olive oil, serve with BBQ sauce, tartar sauce, or whatever you can think of that i havent yet. I have yet to find a sauce that doesnt taste good on it.

[Toni69]

I just did this and it was really delicious. You can add to this however you like. Its pretty much a "salsa" that you add to your plain tuna to give it some taste.

1 small red onion, minced
2 celery stalks with leaves, minced
1 yellow bell pepper, minced
A bit of minced cucumber
1 tbs fresh lime juice
1 tbs nice honey
1tbs fresh chopped dill

Combine together and add to your tuna. The good thing about this is that it will sit in your fridge in a sealed container for a while because the lime juice preserves it. It will last a week in the fridge. I combined it with a can of tuna and no mayo...laid it out on a romaine lettuce leaf, wrapped it up and ate it.... was really good.

This is great for any fish, even on your burgers. I liked it on my blackbean burgers too.

[Maxhole]

this one isnt that bad and its really quick and easy.

1 can tuna
1 cup rice
franks red hot
soy sauce

jus cook the rice like the box says and then heat the tuna for like a minute mix the two together and add as much franks and soy sauce as you want. very easy to eat and tastes pretty good

I've done something similar to this. It's almost like a Tuna sandwich w/o bread!

1 can Albacore tuna, packed in H2O
1 dill pickle spear
1 Tbsp Samrt Balance mayo
1 cup cooked rice


Directions:

Cook rice with directions on box. While the rice is cooking, get a good size tuperwear bowl, and mix together tuna, mayo. Cut the pickle into little peices, and through it in there too. Mix them all up. When the rice is done, pour around 3/4 of it, in the bowl with the other stuff. Stir, and enjoy!!!

[nater]

I like tuna and BBQ sauce. I read it on another forum a long time ago, and tried it. Cant eat tuna any other way now. You can even get the sugar free BBQ sauce if you like. Sounds nasty, is very tasty.

[NickSP]

Doesn't anyone keep it simple with mayo anymore? Mix it with some fat free mayo and make it a sandwich....I really like throwin in a bunch of chopped up celery when we have it too, or some tomato

[NATBB74]

1 can newman's own black bean salsa mix w/ tuna
Grab a bag of whole grain torilla chips.
YUM.....

[Medford]

do you like hot sause? that can spice things up

also try other spices, there's a plethora of them

get a spice rack!

[sin-city-customs]

I know its been duscussed, but what is good, or what do you guys like to mix your Tuna with? I just like Fat free Miracle Whip, celery and onions on some toasted bread, YUMMY. Looking for something different. I've seen some really over the top mixes before. Someone said they throw tuna and cottage cheese in a blender and drink it, fuck that. How about something a little more normal.

Thanks,
Dave

[MassMan]

I like relish in my tuna.... lots of it.... along with chopped onions. Makes it taste less like fucking "salted wood".

[5150]

Mustard. It sounds a lil' odd but give it a try, it's awesome! 1can/pouch of tuna with about 2tbsp of mustard is awesome!!! Mix it up and throw it on some toasted bread. Good ish.

Phil

[John-TNS]

2 cans of tuna and some mayo!

[dominate77]

if you haven't already found a way that makes you like tuna, try it with Louisiana seafood sauce or Tigard sauce (Both are pretty good but Louisiana sauce is the shit)...both make it taste awesome

[h 3 L L b 0 y]

I don't eat it cuz it tastes good, but more because it has what i need. Just rip open the can, pop it in your mouth and wash it down with a few gulps of H2O..

I've tried it with cottage cheese, just not in a blender! Get the one with chives in it, mix it with tuna and eat it on a jacket potato..

[Jerseyfury2]

i just eat it plain outta the can...less work, less fat thats uneeded

[Boz]

Mustard. It sounds a lil' odd but give it a try, it's awesome! 1can/pouch of tuna with about 2tbsp of mustard is awesome!!! Mix it up and throw it on some toasted bread. Good ish.

Phil

X2...or hot sauce.

[conner740]

I use mustard also. It doesnt really have much good nor bad things in it, and helps with the fucking blain taste of it with nothing.

[callme47]

I eat my tuna with salad dressing or cheese.

[LittleMan55]

i can of tuna, half cup cottage cheese, and salsa. Sounds gross, but taste delicious. You can put it over a cup of brown rice or baked potato and you have a complete meal.

[LegendKillerJosh]

Pickles are good to add, barbecue sauce instead of mayo, shredded cheese makes it better.

[sanga]

I rarely eat tuna, I ate it to death and don`t like it much anymore but if I am going to eat it I put it in a big salad with low fat dressing to blend it in, much nicer that way.

Beef is far better IMO.

[silence]

i eat a can of tuna with 1/2 cup of corn and 1tbs of fat free mayo with two whole wheat slices of bread and it tastes good

[NPRamirez]

#1 - plain tuna on crackers

#2 - tuna + peanuts + cottage cheese (thanks to a previous forum) - super protein *highly recommended*

#3 - tuna sandwich with mustard and FF cheese

#4 - tuna mixed with mayo on crackers/bread - YUM but extra fats.

Those are my mixes

I like Mustard, Black Pepper, and Almonds...tastes great!

[scals17]

salsa, rice, green beans (sounds weird but it's good)

[Hoffdogg]

#2 - tuna + peanuts + cottage cheese (thanks to a previous forum) - super protein *highly recommended*



I am going to try this (with cashews maybe) but who takes credit for the recipe, if I gag I am coming after them...LOL

[FREEK]

1.mix up one egg with a fork till yellowish
2.add in can of tuna with a few shakes garlic powder
3.add two tbsp of oats, and some onions to that
Mix this contraption together and fry on the stove top, and serve with cheese if you want

[BrotherInArms]

Lately I've been having tuna with more tuna. I'm cutting for the summer months and I'm not eating much else.

[BigDubbDiesel]

i rock it with some franks hot sauce mixed in with brown rice or even oatmeal sometimes, hell even kick it up a few knotches with some cheese if youre bulkin and feelin good

[TunnelVision338]

Anyone ever try tuna mixed with PB? My friend gave me the idea, because I hate the taste of straight tuna. This makes it much more bearable. Today as my post-workout meal (after my shake) I had 1 cup brown rice, 2 cans tuna, and 1 heaping scoop of natty PB all mixed together.
