Tuna Soup





Boil 3 cups of egg noodles. Heat up 1 can of golden mushroom soup (I like to mix the soup with 1 can of milk instead of 1 can of water). Drain the tuna juice from the can. Once the noodles are finished and the golden mushroom soup is heated, add the tuna %26amp; the noodles to the soup %26amp; mix while on low heat. It's that simple %26amp; it tastes really good.What are some good tuna fish recipes?

In very large heavy pot with lid, pour enough olive oil to cover bottom. Add celery, carrots, onion, garlic, cauliflower and fennel (if used). Cover and cook vegetables in oil for 5 minutes. Add sliced zucchini and steam 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients, including your choice of anchovies, tuna or salami. Stir gently to mix, return to heat and simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes, just to blend. Refrigerate antipasto for 3 days, stirring daily. Can be served over the next 10 days, storing remainder in refrigerator.

Testing Results: Use a very large pot to hold all these ingredients, though don't feel constrained to follow the recipe exactly. If you don't like olives, omit them and compensate with more artichoke hearts or onions. Add julienne strips of mozzarella if you like. Play with peppers according to your palate. Some ingredients, like peperoncini (small hot peppers) may have to be purchased in an Italian food store where you might also buy Italian salami if that's your choice among the last 3 ingredients.

Tuna with Peas, or Tonno Coi Piselli: This is a quick, simple recipe; some people like to add some canned tomatoes as well, but you may not, because canned tomatoes tend to overshadow the other ingredients. To serve 4 you'll need:


INGREDIENTS:


4 slices of fresh tuna, weighing about 1 1/3 pounds (600 g) in all


2 1/4 pounds (1 k) peas in their pods (this will be slightly more than a pound, or 500 g shelled weight)


1/4 cup olive oil


1 clove garlic


A heaping tablespoon of minced parsley


Salt and pepper to taste


A 1-pound (500 g) can tomatoes, drained and tomatoes chopped (optional)


PREPARATION:


Shell the peas and rinse them. Rinse the slices of fish and pat them dry. Saut茅 the garlic over a low flame in a pan large enough for the slices of tuna to lie flat for about 5 minutes, being careful not to burn it, then remove and discard it.





Lay the tuna slices in the pan, sprinkle them with the parsley, and cook them over a very gentle flame, turning them once or twice. When they are done (figure, at the most, 10 minutes cooking time) remove them to a platter, leaving the pan juices in the pan, and keep them warm.





Turn the peas into the pan and turn up the flame; season them with salt to taste and cook them until done, adding a little hot water if necessary to keep them from drying out (or the canned tomatoes if you're using them). When the peas are almost done, return the slices of tuna to the pan and continue cooking over a gentle flame for another 5-10 minutes. Serve the peas and the fish direct from the pan
go to the campbell's site, they have recipes there like Tuna Noodle Casserole.
I like these served open faced on English Muffins.

TUNA SALAD-STUFFED TOMATO





1/2 medium green bell pepper


1/2 medium red bell pepper


1 small Kirby cucumber, or 4 inches European, peeled and seeded


4 red radishes


1/3 cup loosely packed flat-leaf parsley


1/8 medium red onion


1 (6 oz.) can water-packed tuna, white or chunk light, drained


Juice of 1 lemon


Salt and freshly ground pepper


8 leaves greenleaf lettuce


4 medium tomatoes, cored





Finely chop green and red peppers, cucumber, radishes, parsley and red onion, preferably using a chef`s knife. (A food processor can be used, but the vegetables will be wet and mushy.) Combine in a large bowl. Add the tuna to the vegetables, flaking it with a fork. Add the lemon juice and toss to combine well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.





Arrange two lettuce leaves on each of four medium-sized plates. Place a tomato in the center of each plate. With a sharp knife, vertically cut the tomato almost to the bottom, leaving the halves attached. Rotate the tomato, making 2 more cuts to create 6 wedges. With your fingers, spread out the tomato, making a ';flower.'; Heap 3/4 cup of the tuna salad nicely over the tomato, and serve.
This one was on the DeCecco pasta box:


Cook 1/2 pound of linguine according to the box directions. Meanwhile, saute 2 cloves of garlic, 1 1/2 TBS capers, 1/2 cup chopped black olives in 1/4 cup olive oil. Add about 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then put in 1TBS chopped parsley and ground black pepper. Remove from the heat and carefully fold in a 6 or 7 oz. can of white meat tuna (Italian tuna packed in oil is especially delicious.) Drain the linguine and gently toss with the sauce. One reason this is so good is that it calls for stuff you can have on hand in your pantry.
INGREDIENTS


2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked

1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing


1/3 cup chopped pecans
