Tuna noodle casserole, with string beans in place of noodles? Or tuna
cakes, bound with egg and low carb cracker crumbs and/or bran?

I make a tuna casserole with biscuits, using CarbQuick for the biscuits.

Make a basic white sauce using for the liquid cream (or milk and cream)
diluted with the liquid from the cans of tuna. Toss in vegies (sugg:
blanched green beans and broccoli, and sauteed peppers and/or mushrooms)
and chunked canned tuna.

Pour into a casserole dish and top with CarbQuick biscuits. Bake. I
think I scanned the recipes on the back of the CarbQuick box to estimate
how long and hot to bake it. I don't remember what I did, but it worked
out. Note: the biscuits will soak up a lot of the liquid, so don't
hesitate to start it ou very juicy. Alternatively, come to think of it,
you could cook the liquid with stuff in it in a pot on top of the stove
and then pour it over the biscuits which have been baked normally. YUM!

HTH, but I will understand if you're not into CarbQuick.

OK, here's another idea: LC tortillas wrapped around tuna, broccoli,
mushrooms and cheese?

Thanks for the try, anyway. I never got into CarbQuick because I just
don't miss breads and such. I really don't care to eat those things I
cut out when I started low-carbing. And if you'd told me when I started
that that would be the case, I would have laughed til I cried.

Tuna omelet.

Marsha/Ohio

Its great stir fried with green cabbage, celery and onions. I used to
toss the veggies in butter(now I use Pam), seasoned with salt, pepper,
a splash of soysauce or Braggs, and a bit of powdered ginger.When the
veggies were near tender I put in course flaked albacore tuna (my home
canned) and tossed until heat through. Its great with tabasco sprinkled
on it too. My 7 year old loves it even.

Ooh, this sounds really good. I don't know why I don't stir-fry more - I
shall give it a whirl. Thanks.

I'll break up a small can of tuna in my breakfast omelette. Tuna. Eggs, and
Chopped Green Onions! A few mushrooms are good as well, and you can even
add cheese.

I've done really good tuna casseroles with cauliflower florets instead
of the noodles.

Tuna melt. Mix a little mayo, some diced veggies. Fry
a patty on a grill. Put on lettuce leaves and eat the
wrap like a sandwich.

Tuna veggies casserole. Mix tuna, dice low carb veggies,
pre-wilted diced onion (use skillet), cream, whipped egg.
Top with grated cheese. Bake for less time than other
casseroles because low carb veggies get soft quickly.

Seared tuna steak. Use fresh tuna, pan fry with some
nice fresh herbs.

Tuna sashimi with lots of wasabi. You didn't specify
chemical or flame heat so may as well through in one with
chemical heat. Also possible to make ceviche from tuna,
but tuna's expensive enough I never have any spare to
try it.

I dont know what people pay elsewhere but we get whole tuna flash
frozen without brine for $1.50 a pound around here. It is excellent cut
into 1" steaks, salted, refrigerate for a few hours so the salt can
"melt into the meat" then fried til golden brown!

My ex husband was a Pacific Islander and they sliced tuna thin, washed
and pressed it gently to remove blood, then put fresh squeezed lime
juice, soy sauce and tabasco on and at it with rice. It wasnt bad at
all.

I also ate beautiful colored ( aqua, orange, red, yellow) sun dried and
salted fish that has been reconstituted and rinsed in water to lower
the sodium level and soften itand then fried. Was delicious too!!
