Cooking for one doesn't hold much appeal, so I'm always happy when I find something that makes life easier and leaves more time for writing. If I can order it on Amazon? Even better.
My sister mentioned to me that she uses Starkist Low Sodium Tuna packets.
I'm a traditionalist. I've always gotten Bumble Bee Solid White in a can. It was the brand my husband liked, and that was fine by me.
But when I saw I could order a 24 pack box on Amazon, hey, this old dog can learn some new tricks.
But once the tuna arrived, I had to actually do something with it.
A) I made tuna scampi.
It was so easy. I heated some butter, garlic and lemon in a pan, added the tuna and simmered.
B) I liked this one even better!
I heated the tuna in some tomato sauce, added some basil, garlic and oregano, and served it over rice. It was good, but I'd made too much so I tossed it all together and stuck it in the refrigerator.
WOW! That was the really good part. It chilled perfectly and made a cold tuna rice salad that was perfect for lunch. I added a few blue corn chips for crunch!
Apologies for the pathetic photo. I was halfway through eating it when I thought, THIS goes on the blog.
So what do you do with tuna beyond tuna salad?
