I do variations of pasta with tuna, capers, marinated artichokes, halved cherry tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice and a bit of butter or olive oil ... chilli if you're into it. So quick easy and delicious

you could make a white sauce based on soy milk and add in curry, serve on rice.

Tuna and Sweet Potato cakes. OMG! Sounds strange but oh so very good. http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/2601/tuna+sweet+potato+cakes Just cut the egg and "work" the mixture longer, or add a handful or two of instant oats as an egg-free binder. Make sure to chill it for 15-30 mins before cooking to help it hold together. Sweet chili sauce is GREAT with these. Steam or sautee some veggies to go with it. I like asparagus and corn with it and/or a salad with tangy flavors like olives or pickles. These were inhaled by adult and toddler alike.

Those tuna and sweet potatoes are yummy! Other ideas: Fried rice with tuna Jacket potatoes with tuna, corn and mayo Tuna fritters (thehealthychef.com.au has a good recipe) There's nothing that has dinner covered quite like a tin of tuna!

QUOTE (Schnitzelvonkrumb @ 16/11/2012, 06:18 AM) There's nothing that has dinner covered quite like a tin of tuna! So true! Pretty much all our tuna meals have been mentioned except for a tuna rice salad that I do. Just cold brown rice mixed with small pieces of cucumber, red onion, red & green capsicum and anything else I feel like sometimes corn and peas. Mix in the tuna and serve with whatever dressing you want.
