What's up gang? If I eat tuna its in the form of tuna fish (eggs, mayo, canned tuna) or in a salad. Does anyone have any recipes to change ordinary tuna into something good? Hot or cold, doesn't matter, just as long as the recipe uses tuna in water.. I'm not too crazy about the tuna in oil.. It's messy. Tks.
I do something similar to what you said. I use the same tuna in water except I use olive oil and no eggs. Usually about 2 table spoons will do it but douse it to you liking. I add in italian seasoning, Nu-salt or sea salt, a dash or two of cavendars greek seasoning, and lots of black pepper. You can adjust the seasonings to your taste. I eat it like that on sandwiches or whatever. It's plain and basic. Easy to make and a lot less fat tha mayo and eggs. But I think you're looking for something less boring.. :)
