Low Carb Tuna Melt - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 (170 g) can of flaked tuna in water
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 slice tomatoes
1/2 cup medium white mushroom (chopped or sliced)
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
2 2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons butter, to saute with
walnuts (optional)
almonds (optional)
pecans (optional)
herbs (optional)
bacon (optional)
chicken (optional)
Preparation
-
Mix the can of tuna with mayonnaise, salt and pepper and any other herbs or seasonings you`d like to add, walnuts taste good in it too- Be creative and have fun with it.
Put tuna mixture aside.
Cut a slice of your tomato and set aside.
Over medium- low heat, saute the sliced mushrooms in olive oil until slightly crisp- I sometimes add left over chicken or a slice or 2 of bacon to the saute for variety.
Once the mushrooms are sauteed arrange them into a tidy little circle and place the tuna and mayo mixture very carefully onto the center of the mushroom platform- If you haven`t realized by now-- the mushrooms replace your bread.
Then place the tomato slice on top of the tuna and mayo, top it all off with cheese, reduce heat slightly, and cover for 1 minute or until the cheese is melted.
Carefully, with the aid of a flexible spatula, slide the tuna melt onto your plate- or a leaf of lettuce on your plate and enjoy.
Only 3 and a half carbs for the whole meal-- and it`s filling.
You can use other types of cheese and mushrooms or even more tomato, but take the carbs into account- some cheeses are higher than others and the same for veggies too.
