Mom carried this recipe in. Was shared with her by one of her co-workers at PRC. I omit the pimiento and the bread crumbs. I always add mushrooms. My husband and grand daughter request sliced water chestnuts. Can add peas, broccoli and or cheese.Pick a favorite veggie and it is a meal all by its self. I mix everything in the electric skillet and don't bother with the oven during the summer. Play with this one, create what you like and make it your own.

Tips for the Tuna Tempter

  • When selecting tuna for your recipe, opt for fresh cuts to ensure the best flavor and texture. Fresh tuna should have a vibrant red color and a firm texture. Avoid any tuna that appears dull or has a slimy texture.

  • To achieve the perfect sear on your tuna steak, make sure your skillet is sufficiently heated before adding the fish. A hot skillet will create a crispy outer layer while leaving the inside tender and juicy.

  • To add a delightful Mediterranean twist to your tuna, consider marinating it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs such as thyme or oregano. This marinade will infuse the tuna with a savory and aromatic flavor.

  • For a quick and flavorful lunch option, consider using canned tuna in your recipes. Canned tuna is a convenient and versatile ingredient that can be easily incorporated into salads, sandwiches, and wraps.

  • To create a flavorful and umami-rich tuna dish, consider adding a dollop of miso paste to your marinade or sauce. Miso paste will add a savory and slightly sweet flavor to your tuna, making it a perfect complement to grilled or roasted vegetables.
