Creamed Tuna And Peas Recipes

TUNA AND PEAS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute peas, onion, and garlic in hot butter until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Pour mushroom soup over the peas mixture; add enough milk to the mixture to thicken the soup to the point of there being no lumps. Flake tuna and add to the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mixture is warm and bubbly, about 10 minutes.

HARD TIMES CREAMED TUNA

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir flour into melted butter until smooth and slowly stream milk into the mixture while whisking continually. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir tuna into the milk mixture; season with salt and pepper. Cook until tuna is warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Ladle tuna mixture over toasted bread to serve.

CREAMED TUNA ON TOAST

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, mix tuna and soup. Gradually stir in the milk. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
• Toast the bread. Pour equal amounts of the tuna mixture over each slice of toasted bread and season with salt and pepper to serve.

CREAMED TUNA AND PEAS

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.

CREAMED PEAS AND TUNA ON TOAST

Steps:

• Combine the soups in a skillet with milk and stir until you have the right consistency of a gravy while heating up. You do need to stir this while its heating up, just like a gravy. You might need a little more milk.
• Stir in the drained peas and tuna.
• Add the spices to your tastes and shake in a few shakes of hot sauce.
• Serve over pieces of toast.

CREAMED TUNA OR CHICKEN WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Drain tuna or chop chicken finely.
• Bring chicken stock (and optional mushrooms if desired), to a boil. Add celery seed and thyme.
• Use a fork or a whisk to combine cornstarch with cold milk. Adjust amount according to whether you want a thicker or thinner sauce. Add to boiling stock, reduce heat, and stir until the sauce simmers gently.
• Add tuna/chicken, peas, and sherry.
• Heat through and season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
• Remove from heat. Let sit, keeping warm, for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
• Serve over the starch of your choice -- rice, toast points, noodles, cornbread (I suggest recipe Recipe #277295 ), biscuits, etc.
• Note -- if you have no homemade chicken stock I suggest using a good soup base (Tones brand is available in Sam's Club). Both bullion cubes and canned chicken broth are inferior substitutes for real stock and a dish this simple depends on the quality of the ingredients for good flavor.
• Tip -- if you enjoy tuna casserole but have give it up because of the salt in the mushroom soup try using a suitable quantity of this recipe (with or without the peas), as a substitute for the diluted soup.

CREAMED TUNA ON TOAST

Steps:

• Thaw frozen peas in a collendar.
• Melt the margarine in a saucepan.
• Add the flour and blend.
• Add the milk, stirring constantly to prevent clumping and stir until creamy.
• Add the tuna, peas, salt and pepper and warm through.
• As the tuna is warming, toast bread.
• After toasted, cut in triangles and spoon tuna mixture over the toast.
