BBQ TUNA (TASTES LIKE PORK--REALLY)
The mind boggled when I saw this recipe in a CHURCH cookbook... I thought "revolting" so why was I compelled to try it and why am I posting it here? For privacy reasons I will generalize to keep the church & location confidential but think in terms of the area in which you live. Imagine the oldest church in YOUR area having this recipe in its cookbook which was prepared under the guidance of 15 women in the church: all with prominent names in social and political circles spanning generations. WOULD these women include a terrible recipe? Would any of them LIE to you about its being worthy of making? HMMMMM... suffice it for me to say I'm not sure I'd declare it really tastes like pork! However, I will say that IF anyone served this BBQ does NOT know it has tuna in it, I suspect most will not guess tuna as the first guess. In fact, this IS fairly tasty IF you can get past the fact that TUNA is the basic ingredient! Are you brave enough to try? It is low cal, low fat, high protein, and diabetic friendly! (The book was old enough that I did have to tweak the ingredients because tuna is no longer in 6+ ounce cans.)

Steps:
- Open tuna cans, cutting fully around, and expel as much liquid as possible while pressing down upon lid very hard! (Necessary IF you want to improve odds that tuna will not be suspected.).
- Combine ALL ingredients in a small saucepan and stir well to blend completely.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring; then immedialely reduce to a low simmer for a few minutes. Keep stirring to prevent scorching!
- Remove from heat and allow to rest a few minutes to assure onions rehydrate before serving.
- Makes enough moist, not wet, BBQ for 3-4 sandwiches; serve on buns as any other BBQ.
- I recommend using additional Carolina Style Mustard BBQ Sauce to moisten the Tuna BBQ to a preferred consistency more moist than this basic recipe. I'm partial to my own Caroline Style Mustard BBQ Sauce(Recipe #446238) -- a take off of Mike Mills' Mustard BBQ Sauce.

A MEAL IN A PUMPKIN
This is a very cute idea for around Halloween. When I first saw the recipe, I thought "YUCK", but then I tried it and it is really good and kids think it is GREAT because it is prepared and served in a pumpkin. 2 hours is the time I baked my 10 to 12 lb pumpkin and it was almost too long.

Tips:
- Choose the right tuna steaks: Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a nice red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of brown or gray meat.
- Marinate the tuna steaks: Marinating the tuna steaks helps to add flavor and moisture. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic marinade works well.
- Cook the tuna steaks over high heat: Tuna steaks should be cooked over high heat to get a nice sear on the outside and a tender, juicy inside. Cook the steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let the tuna steaks rest before serving: After cooking, let the tuna steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices to redistribute throughout the steaks, making them even more tender and juicy.
Conclusion:
Tuna steaks cooked using barbecue method can have a flavor profile similar to pork depending on the seasonings, marinade, and cooking technique used. Experimentation and personal preference play a significant role in achieving the desired taste and texture. It's important to note that the type of tuna used, the thickness of the steaks, and the cooking temperature can also impact the final result.
