TUNA STICKS - Chef Robert Duncan
1 can tuna
1/2 small carrot (grated)
1/2 celery stalk (sliced dime thin)
2 to 3 tbsp honey mustard
1 tbsp cottage cheese (fat free if needed)
1 tbsp sour cream (fat free if needed)
1 tbsp minced or ground garlic
season to taste (taste the final concoction first so that you can decide what you think will fit your taste)
Stir and mix all ingredients vigoriously so as to get a good pump. Spread the mixture on celery stalks (in the groove silly, not the convex side), and of course use your fingers its easier and fun as well. Eat, enjoy, and grow.

TUNA LOAF- Chef Brian Silver(stolen, er, critiqued from the Atkins cookbook)
Since I've got the Atkins' New Diet Cookbook sitting right here, (ISBN 0-87131-794-X) I thought I'd look up some TUNA recipes. And this one seemed particularly gross. Tuna Loaf
2 cups canned tuna
2 teaspoons diced onion
2 teaspoons capers
1 cup mayonaise
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon curry powder (optional)
Preheat oven to 350F. Drain fish. In a small bowl flake fish. Add onions and capers to fish. In a saucepan combine mayonaise, water, cream, salt and paprika. Stir until smooth. Add one half of the cream sauce to the fish and mix. Place mixture in buttered loaf pan or baking dish. Bake fo 30 minutes. Add curry to remaining sauce. To serve, slice fish loaf and spoon sauce over slices. Has to be one of the most disgusting things I have ever read.

ARNOLD'S favorite muscle building tuna salad - Chef Ricky
I was going through some old cook books the other day, looking for a salmon recipe. Found an old book put out by a health organization. One of those where "celebrities" donate recipies. Found "Arnolds favorite muscle building tuna salad". Copied direct from the book.
2-6 1/2 oz. cans Bumble Bee tuna (in vegetable oil)
2 soup spoons diced sweet onions
2 soup spoons diced green pepper
2 soup spoons diced celery
2 soup spoons diced tomato
1 soup spoon Kraft fat-free mayonnaise(yeah, you don't wanna OVERDO the fat here)
2 soup spoons safflower oil
4 soup spoons vinegar
Drain cans of tuna, combine in bowl with rest of ingredients, mix gently, chill. Serve on oat, or potato bread, with slices of bermuda onion, tomato and lettuce leaves. Makes 2 sandwiches. The guy apparently liked / likes oil. (that's Arnold Ziffle not the OAK)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TUNA bagels
2 bagles or rolls
1 can TUNA in water
cheese
salad tomatoes
TUNA Gainer '97
1 can TUNA in water
2 cups skim milk
100g rolled oats
4 large ice cubes

HELL YEAH, TUNA Gainer '97, BABY! )

TUNA MIX- Chef ? - Steve O'Donnell
Equal parts tuna and cottage cheese
mix in some dill ****, salt & pepper, and a slight dash of lemon juice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREAMY TUNA VEGETABLE CHOWDER- From Chef Angela "Pump till ya Puke" Pahlow
1/4 c. butter
1 c. chopped onion
1/4 c. flour
4 c. milk (I think 4 c. heavy whipping cream, w/o th flour, will work just as well, gotta check w/hubby the "real" chef)
1 - 10 oz pkg frozen broccoli
1 - 6.5 oz can TUNA (I'd go w/2 cans, myself)
2 tbsp chives
1.5 tsp salt
.5 tsp celery salt
1 c. sour cream
Saute onions in butter til translucent. Add milk/flour or heavy cream gradually - cook over med heat until the mix thickens slightly. Add rest of ingredients ex. sour cream. Cook covered 8-10 min. Stir in sour cream. Heat but do not boil. Should last awhile if there's only 2 of you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CHICO STATE POST WORKOUT TUNA SHAKE - Chef Rocky Bemis
One 6-7 oz. can tuna in water,drained
2 cups orange juice, preferably pulpless
4-5 ice cubes
Blend on "frappe" (don't you love that word) for about 2 minutes. Pour into chilled mug, or beer bong if from Chico, and guzzle.
Probably the best of the tuna shake options for the tuna shake skeptic as all you taste is OJ until you're finished, then the aftertaste creeps up on you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TUNA BURGERS - Chef Brian Silver
1 Can Tuna (6 oz, 170g)
1/4 cup bread crumbs
Celery,
chopped Onion,
chopped 1 large egg
Pepper to taste.
Combine all the ingredients well. Form into 2 patties and fry until brown in Olive Oil over medium heat. Works best in a non-stick pan.
Notes: Recipe can be doubled or tripled to account for feeding a member of the D/FW Assault Crew.
Use as much celery and onion as you like. I like lots of large chunks of onion. You can use "seasoned" bread crumbs too. Italian seasoned crumbs make a nice burger. I don't add salt because I think the Tuna has enough. If you like things salty, add some salt.
You can fry in butter, margerine or Pam if you like. I like Olive Oil. Goes well with the Tuna. Be sure to use a non-stick pan if you're using Pam.
You can serve these any way you like. I like them on a bun with mustard and mayo.
Other possible additions: Garlic or Garlic Powder Chile Peppers Cheese - Either on top like a cheese burger - Or add some grated cheese to the mix
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TUNA-CURRY SOUFFLE - Chef Thomas J. Farish
I�ve made this souffl� many times with either tiny shrimp or flaked salmon. My wife noticed how much tuna I�ve been eating and said, �Why not a tuna souffle?�. It was actually very good! Here is the recipe:
3 eggs (separated)
2 TBL butter (not margarine)
2 TBL flour
1 cup of 2% milk
1 small can tuna drained in a strainer
1-2 green onions
2 tsp curry powder (or garam masala)
1/4 cup of any other chopped veggies you like (I use carrots or celery)
Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease a souffl� pan and prepare top paper and string. Open tuna and drain in a strainer. (You need it to be fairly dry). Chop onions and other veggies. Separate the eggs, and beat yolks until they are lemon-colored. Melt butter in saucepan until bubbly. Add flour and stir until combined. This is a roux (�roo�). Cook the roux until it begins to darken slightly and smells like popcorn. While the butter and flour are cooking, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add milk to the roux 1/4 cup at a time, stirring well. As this cooks some more, finish beating the egg whites. When the mixture thickens, add egg yolks and stir in vigorously. Add curry, tuna and veggies and stir gently. Fold in egg whites (don�t stir it a lot!) and pour into souffl� pan. Wrap paper around top of pan and tie with string. Put pan into oven. Immediately turn temp down to 350 F. Bake until done (about 35-40 minutes).
Serve immediately with a salad and cocktail sauce, ketchup, salsa or other condiments. Serves 4.

i almost want to try the tuna blended with oj- what does the ice cubes add? im a little nervous seeing how i doubt this will taste good or feel good going down but maybe worth a shot for a quick on the go fix

^^^ I tried it bro and i thought it was nasty and i love tuna. On the otherhand, the tuna and scrambled eggs at the start of the post is very good.

Here's the tuna shake I used to drink, not too bad at all actually, though you still get it down as fast as you can.... so a can of tuna of course, Mott's Clamato and your favorite hot sauce. Enjoy!
Or if you're in the party mood, make yourself a tuna ceasar!
Haven't had one in like 10 years, gonna try one tomorrow! lol
