Not Your Grandmother's Tuna Casserole image

I love exploring with spices and ingredients, so this is something that I put together one night for my parents and myself. It's low sodium and has little to no dairy, so it is perfect for lactose intolerant people (or even those allergic to milk, if you take out the butter and substitute with more olive oil). I really like to...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

vegetable cooking spray
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp butter, unsalted
1 small onion, chopped
12 oz bag frozen artichokes
1 1/2 c non-dairy heavy cream substitute
1/2 c vegetable broth
1 lb tuna steaks/pieces
salt and pepper to taste
capers
2 tsp cumin or curry
red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • 1. Spray a large pan (12 inch, if you have one) with cooking spray and heat at med-high.
  • 2. Add butter and evenly distribute it throughout the pan.
  • 3. Place each piece of tuna flat on the pan and let cook for about 3 minutes per side (slightly longer if not fully thawed).
  • 4. When tuna is finished, place on a plate and set aside.
  • 5. Add the other tablespoon of butter and add the onion. Sauté until clear to golden.
  • 6. Add artichokes to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Be sure to stir often.
  • 7. Next is where you would add capers to your liking. If you do not like capers, it is a trivial part to the dish that could be omitted to the cook's taste.
  • 8. Add vegetable broth and lower heat to medium. Let simmer until broth has gone down slightly (about 5 minutes).
  • 9. Next add the tuna back into the pan and add the spices, being sure to cover both sides of the tuna.
  • 10. Add the heavy cream substitute and let simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the liquid evaporates a little and leaves a thick cream.
  • 11. Serve alone or over pasta cooked in 5 parts water and 1 part vegetable broth.

I'm not a big fan of tuna casserole, but this recipe is pretty good. It's not too heavy, and the pasta is cooked perfectly.
