What do you put on canned tuna to spice things up?

That sounds great.

I needed a meal quick the other day, so just cut up half a avocado, half a tomato, and one can (in olive oil), some s&p and it was pretty good.

It is great. The cumin and cayenne really helps mask the smell/taste, the celery does a great job of breaking up the texture of the tuna, and the mayo is only there to make everything stick. I've botched the recipe a few times (too much cumin, too little cayenne, etc) but it turns out good regardless.

I'm a huge fan of celery in tuna haha.

I buy canned salmon, it's cheaper then the Tuna and tastes better. Right next to the canned Tuna.

The advantage of canned tuna is it's quick and easy. If you're going to spend more than 5 minutes cooking, grating , mixing, etc, then you might as well substitute real tuna for the canned stuff.

Use pouch tuna instead of canned, it tastes much better.

Someone probably suggested this already, but...

Make a Tuna Risotto.
I do this with canned Tuna or Salmon,
and it works great!

Risotto shouldn't be a delivery method for pantry items. Besides, as stated earlier, recooking canned tuna is bad. Always.

My quick regimen is

-fat free Miracle Whip (adding this has practically no calorie, it's like 5 cal/teaspoon)
-capers to give it the saltiness and texture
-a bit of fresh ground pepper
-a touch of Dashi

What qualifies you to say that, I wonder. Are you a chef? Are you the risotto police? You gave no specific information as to why re-cooking canned tuna is 'bad'. Can you provide some links we all can read to corroborate that? If you take a can of soup, or any canned food, you heat it to boiling before serving. Is that bad too? Canned food usually tastes like the can it came from; especially seafoods. and that is why I have come up with methods of defeating that. There is probably very little nutritive value in any food from a can to begin with, and it is not a staple in my diet. I am not actually re-cooking the tuna. It is added to the mix at the last moment before introducing pre-cooked rice. I am sure you are aware, there are many different tecniques to making a risotto. Your tecnique is different from mine probably.

you could try mixing it with cous cous, a tomato salsa and stuffing them in a hollowed out cooked pepper.

You really have no clue, do you?

Canned foods are precooked. Recooking proteins dries them out as the proteins constrict during the cooking process, drying them out.

I also don't see what tuna adds to risotto besides an added bad taste.

Notice everyone how he couldn't answer the question, so here it is again:

I gave my answer.
Do you understand? Finally?
That is what I do with a f**king can of Tuna on occasion.
I was not seeking your approval.
I don't give a *hit if any of you approve or not.

One or more of these items apply to you:
1) You are too f***ing stupid to understand english;
2) You are just plain ignorant;
3) You choose to be an a**hole and flame my posts.
4) All of the above.

Cooking anything at all KILLS IT.
Only raw food will offer any noteable nutrition.
OBVIOUSLY some things must be cooked or cured, like dead animal flesh.
Everything that is cooked is DEAD.
Therefore, it is you who has no clue.

You want to put dead things into your body?
Well be my guest.
Piss off.
I think what I am going to do from now on,
is whenever I see some marsupialo starts flaming my posts,
I am just going to place that marsupialo on Ignore forever.
