A little more mediterranean

Image
I'm easing my way into a more vegetable, fish and legume focused-diet. This recipe can serve a family of 4 or become lunch for a few days during the week. As long as you wait to add the salad greens, the tuna salad should only grow in flavor. Ingredients 1 can of chickpeas, rinsed 2 6 oz cans of chunk light tuna, drained and flaked 1 large bell pepper, diced 1/2 cup onion, diced 1/2 lemon, juiced 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil Ground pepper, to taste 8 cups mixed salad greens Directions Combine beans, tuna, bell pepper, onion, parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season with pepper. Divide the greens among 4 plates. Top each with the tuna salad.

Tuna Burgers, perfected!

Image
It only took about 3 tries, but I finally perfected this recipe. The proportions of tuna to breadcrumbs to egg is pretty crucial, so I included 2 different scaled versions of the recipe. The great thing about these tuna cakes is that they go great on a bun, roll or pita, but they are also good alone with tartar sauce, just like crab cakes. Deck them out with plenty of lettuce, tomato or cheese, and enjoy!  This recipe has the added bonus of including a lot of pantry staples, being relatively affordable when you're eating on a budget, and super quick to make! Ingredients : Makes 2 burgers:                                     Makes 7 burgers: 1 3 oz can tuna                                         2 1/2 5 oz cans tuna 1/8 cup of finely chopped onion          ...

Tuna Pie?!?

It turned out great but I disobeyed my own rule of halving the fat (AKA mayonnaise) so I will have to try it again with less mayo and see how it changes things! And yes it is in a pyrex pie plate - nothing was clean! Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®
