Canned tuna creation
I went to the fridge and pantry yesterday, to discover not much to make lunch with. All I could find was an "emergency" can of tuna. I doctored it up with black beans,parsley, lemon juice and mayo. It was quite tasty, to my surprise. What would you have done with it?

Tuna always yields some nice ideas! My favorite so far is adding chilled penne pasta, green onion and lime.

one can of chunk albacore
one small shallot, diced,
1/4 braeburn apple, diced
1 T caesar [I used mine, I put more anchovy and garlic in it]
5 or 6 leaves of fresh basil
lemon juice to taste
1/4 tsp minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
pretty damn good in 1/2 a pita shell with more sliced apple and a little havarti on the side. Also quite find on saltines.

My favorite is to doctor is up with cilantro, rock salt, green chillies, and dijon (sometimes skip this). This makes a normal tuna sandwich much more palatable :)

When I was a child, my mother served creamed tuna on toast.

Perhaps pedestrian, but it's such a staple. Mix the tuna with mayo and onion powder (fresh diced onion if I'm not being lazy).
Serve on nice cleaned romaine leaves sprinkled with crumbled bacon/real bacon bits stuff and sometimes pine nuts or shelled sunflower seeds

I combine tuna with chopped celery, onions, and dill pickles then mix in some cottage cheese. Looks gross, but tastes good!

last night I did tuna cakes with ground oatmeal and wheat germ (didn't have bread crumbs), egg, bell pepper, red onion, cilantro and parsley, red curry paste and soy sauce. I made a curry aoli for the top and a slice of avacado. Pretty good for canned tuna.
