I got this recipe from my aunt who found it I believe on . She had started Atkins and has lost 93 pounds so far...well, I just started Atkins and found this recipe to be one of my favorite quick meals.... and I didn't like tuna that much before! Ingredients:
1 (170 g) can of flaked tuna in water |
3 tablespoons mayonnaise |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 slice tomato |
1/2 cup medium white mushroom (chopped or sliced) |
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese |
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons butter, to saute with |
walnuts (optional) |
almonds (optional) |
pecans (optional) |
herbs (optional) |
bacon (optional) |
chicken (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mix the can of tuna with mayonnaise, salt and pepper and any other herbs or seasonings you`d like to add, walnuts taste good in it too- Be creative and have fun with it.
2. Put tuna mixture aside.
3. Cut a slice of your tomato and set aside.
4. Over medium- low heat, sauté the sliced mushrooms in olive oil until slightly crisp- I sometimes add left over chicken or a slice or 2 of bacon to the sauté for variety.
5. Once the mushrooms are sautéed arrange them into a tidy little circle and place the tuna and mayo mixture very carefully onto the center of the mushroom platform- If you haven`t realized by now- the mushrooms replace your bread.
6. Then place the tomato slice on top of the tuna and mayo, top it all off with cheese, reduce heat slightly, and cover for 1 minute or until the cheese is melted.
7. Carefully, with the aid of a flexible spatula, slide the tuna melt onto your plate- or a leaf of lettuce on your plate and enjoy.
8. Only 3 and a half carbs for the whole meal- and it`s filling.
9. You can use other types of cheese and mushrooms or even more tomato, but take the carbs into account- some cheeses are higher than others and the same for veggies too.
