Creole Tuna Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Slice the onions top to bottom about 1/3 inch apart. Saute the onions until soft (the consistency of an onion in an onion ring)
• 2. To the onions add the can of tomatoes, the pepper, garlic salt and the bay leaves. Stir up and cover pan. Let simmer low for 15 minutes, in order to develop the flavors.
• 3. At this point taste. If the tomatoes seem bitter, add a very small pinch of sugar. Add the sliced olives and cover again with another 5 minute simmer (to soften the olives and pull out the flavor) Remove bay leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Generously coat tuna with Cajun seasoning.
• Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over high heat. When oil is nearly smoking, place steaks in pan. Cook on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until blackened. Turn steaks, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or to desired doneness.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, saute 6 minutes or until soft. Add the peas, onions, bell peppers and curry; saute 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• Place flour in a small bowl; gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk. Add to mushroom mixture, bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 2 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in pasta, parsley, salt and tuna. Spoon into a 2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with crushed crackers. Cover and bake 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Brush tops of mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon oil and place on a baking sheet. Broil until almost tender, 3-4 minutes per side. Place cap-sides down on baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and saute the pepper, carrot and onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Cajun seasoning and remaining 2 tablespoons butter; stir until melted.
• Remove from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs until well coated. Gently mix in the tuna.
• Fill mushroom caps with tuna mixture and top with 2 tablespoons cheese each. Broil until cheese melts.
