HARD TIMES CREAMED TUNA



Hard Times Creamed Tuna image

Times were tough for my newly divorced mom in the 70's. I remember eating creamed tuna on toast with a green salad on the side at least weekly. It was one of my favorite meals, and I had no idea we were eating it out of necessity. Times aren't so tough now, but I still make this about once a month. It's great when you're in a hurry, or have limited supplies on hand. My kids love it too!

Make and share this Creamed Tuna and Peas recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Orions Wife

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
15 ounces peas
6 ounces tuna

Steps:

  • Begin by melting the margarine in a 2-quart saucepan. Use a fork or a whisk to stir in the flour making sure it is smooth. Gradually stir in the milk. If you have a whisk you can go a little faster because a whisk can beat out any lumps. If you are using a fork then go very slowly so you can keep the mixture smooth. When the mixture is smooth stir in the sugar, salt and pepper. Cook and stir the sauce until it begins to boil. Allow it to boil for a full minute by the clock. Now remove the sauce from the heat.
  • Drain the peas and the tuna. Stir gently and reheat only till boiling again. Do not overcook or the peas will get mushy. Serve over buttered toast or biscuits, rice, or noodles. The salt may be replaced with celery salt or garlic salt if desired.
  • To use fozen peas instead of canned, simply replace the canned peas with 2 cups frozen peas. Allow the sauce to reheat for a minute or two so you will be sure the peas are cooked through. Do not ovecook the frozen peas wither. This is vital for a good dish.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna. Fresh or canned tuna that is packed in water is the best choice for this dish. If using canned tuna, drain it well before adding it to the recipe.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque throughout.
  • Use a good quality cream sauce. A creamy sauce is essential for this dish. You can use a homemade sauce or a store-bought sauce. If using a store-bought sauce, be sure to choose one that is flavorful and not too thick.
  • Add some vegetables. Peas are a classic addition to creamed tuna, but you can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or onion. Vegetables will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Season to taste. Be sure to season the creamed tuna with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Creamed tuna is a classic dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be served as a main course, a side dish, or a sandwich filling. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a dinner party, creamed tuna is a great option.
