Hi mate,

I know the feeling but have come across a good way to kill the taste -


Get yourself a can of Big soup say chicken and potatoe - wash the tuna in a sieve and add it to the soup - cook the soup up and hey presto you have a delicious high protein soup and you dont even taste the tuna


Give it a go and let me know how u get on


p.s make sure the soup is thick with plenty of veg,potatoes etc for max taste :P

Hello Mate,

This is what I do with tuna - like you I find it one of the most disgusting things on the planet....


OK, I can't stand tuna - it's like cat food, but this makes it pretty palatable.

400g tuna, canned in water
400g Tinned chopped tomatoes
2 garlic cloves crushed to a paste
As many chillies as you want, I use 2 chipotle, 2 Indian and 2 cascabel (all dried and rehydrated in hot water for about 20mins) crush these to a paste and add to the garlic
1 Large red onion finely chopped into small dice
1 Tbsp olive oil
==========

* Heat oil in a large saucepan and when hot add the onion and cook until just caramelised

* Add the garlic / chilli mixture and quickly stir fry for a couple of minutes, do not let the garlic or chilli burn

* Turn the heat down to it's lowest setting and add the tomatoes, stir to combine and let simmer gently until reduced and thick (stir occasionaly)

* When the sauce is nice and thick add the drained tuna to the pan, stir gently to combine, turn off the heat and put the lid on

* Leave for about 5 mins for all the flavours to develop and serve.

=============

I don't know what the nutritional values are of this but I don't think they're too bad, there's protein from the tuna, carbs from the tomatoes, a little bit of good fat, quercitin from the onions and garlic and capsaicin from the chillies.

I hear you on the tuna smell. I've eaten tuna steaks and I can tell you that whatever they do to it when they put it in a can sure funks it up. I can't get beyond the smell so I use canned chicken.

benji..

Or you could try a tuna smoothy, Mmmmmm ....Tasty :?

my latest shake is 100g skimmed milk powder, 2 raw eggs, 2 teaspoons hot chocolate blend with a little cold water then add boiling water to dilute ity tastes just like hot chockolate and you get 51 grams protein per serving its great for bulking on as well.
