Bathing suit season is coming and I thought you might like a new low-carb recipe.  I love my carbs and am fairly sporadic about how well I limit my intake, but if I had enough recipes like this “low-carb tuna delight” that my sister Terri sent, it would make things much easier!  She even took this picture for me, too.  I haven’t made it yet, so if you do, let me know what you think.

Low-Carb Tuna Delight

Author: Terri via Kelly the Kitchen Kop

Ingredients

  • Small can of tuna drained
  • Chopped onion however much you’d like.
  • 1 raw egg
  • 1/8 cup bread crumbs sourdough, soaked or sprouted bread is best (I happen to have plenty bread crumbs around from my sourdough bread bombs.)
  • butter to fry patties pastured butter is best
  • 2 thick slices of tomato
  • 2 Tablespoons mayo
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • Half cucumber chopped
  • Sea salt & pepper to taste and other herbs as desired check out this homemade ranch recipe for ideas.

Instructions

  • Mix together the tuna, onion, egg and bread crumbs and shape into two patties, fry in butter. In the meantime, place two thick slices of tomato on a plate.  While your patties cook, mix together the mayo, milk, chopped cucumber, sea salt, pepper and what other seasonings you may like.  When the tuna patties are done, put them on the tomatoes and spoon cucumber mixture over the top.

Yum!

    I made this dish the other night and it was delicious! My husband loved it! I altered the recipe slightly by adding some yogurt cheese and sour cream to the cucumber mixture to make it thicker. And we added a slice of raw milk cheddar cheese to the top of the tuna patties before spooning the cucumber mixture onto them.

    This looks and sounds delish! Will definitely have to make this one…It might be good for breakfast, too, or with salmon. Thank you, too, to all those with tips about where to buy soy-free tuna. Unimaginable, they put that stuff in everything these days! Whatever happened to oil-packed tuna…or just veggie broth? Sigh.

    The recipe looks great! I can’t wait to try it.

    I’m with Soli… Vital Choice tuna is hands down the absolute best tuna I’ve ever had in my life. Even my husband, who has never liked tuna, loves it. I had never opened a can of tuna before and seen a solid fillet that looked and smelled so wonderful. It’s pricey, but so worth it! We just really space out the tuna meals to make it last. 🙂 I will never go back to the watery, shredded stuff from the grocery store again.

    Jody,
    It probably depends on how low carb you want to go…and how long you ferment the water kefir. Longer ferments = less sugar.

    Hey, Kelly,
    Do you know if we can we drink water kefir when we’re low carbing?
    Thanks,
    Jody

    Bathing suit season??!! Don’t remind me…….:)

    This recipe looks fantastic! I never thought of making tuna cakes (like crab cakes)! I found the cheapest wild line caught albacore tuna is at Costco….Chicken of the Sea (it says “line caught” on the side). What is the difference between tongal tuna and white albacore? I did hear that albacore is a larger fish and may have more mercury levels in it??

    Hey Kel!

    You can get Natural Sea Tongol Tuna from United Buying Clubs which only has the tongol tuna and sea salt in it (maybe some water, too? Don’t have a can handy). This is the tuna we buy and eat it weekly. Lemme know if you have Q’s.

    Watch Costco, the Kirkland stuff they sell here (in East County Seattle) is packed in water but includes soy in their ingredient list–so they must not have a uniform method…

    I buy wild Planet Tuna. They are sustainable caught (poll/troll hand line) and they use the smaller fish because they have half as much mercury. All of the Omega 3 and oils are retained and no liquid (or soy) is added. The only problem is that it costs about 3.50 a can.

    I will try this tonight for Mike and I tonight, but I will need to replace it with GF bread crumbs and do a different topping. I don’t have any cucumbers on hand.
    But it looks and sounds yummy. Thank you for sharing.

    Mmm, sounds good! I’ll have to find something to replace the bread crumbs (gluten free and tend not to make subs). Can’t wait until cukes & tomatoes taste like cucumbers & tomatoes again! I usually don’t even buy them this time of the year because they have no taste and fresh is best!

    Looks really good, now I only wish I had a homegrown tomato to put it on. I am definitely saving this recipe.

    It costs a little more, but I ordered some Vital Choice tuna last year, and that is definitely the gourmet of canned tuna. Looks amazing just sitting in the can!
    Unfortunately there isn’t a TJ near me otherwise I’d probably buy their brand for the rare times I eat canned tuna.

    Costco’s Kirkland brand of Albacore Tuna is only packed with water and is a fantastic price!

    The resource pages at the back of Eat Fat, Lose Fat include the canned fish brands that are safe. Trader Joe’s carries Tongal Tuna that is on the approved list.

    One thing I was disappointed to find in some canned tuna was that much of it has soy in the vegetable broth that it is canned in. I found this out when I was doing GAPS and I was being super careful about labels. The really good stuff that I get at PCC (our coop) doesn’t have it but most brands in the regular grocers have soy in it–isn’t that wild? I’d never have thought about it.
