SPICY TUNA SALAD PITAS WITH CILANTRO



Spicy Tuna Salad Pitas With Cilantro image

Tuna salad with a little bite! Makes a nice change when you want something different for lunch or a quick dinner. Had these with my mom before tackling the shopping crowds this past weekend...we wound up going on a cookbook binge! Serves 1 but can easlily be doubled or adapted to make more servings.

"PITA THE GREAT" - TUNA SALAD



I found this recipe in the "Looney Spoons" cookbook and it has become a family favourite. There are a few more ingredients than your standard tuna salad but it is well worth the extra time. An equivalent amount of chopped, cooked chicken breast may be substituted for the tuna with equally delicious results. My 9 yo DD, especially, loves these, so I send the components in her school lunch and she assembles it when she's ready to eat. I hope you enjoy!

FROM THE PANTRY: TUNA, WHITE BEAN AND OLIVE FLATBREAD PITAS



From the Pantry: Tuna, White Bean and Olive Flatbread Pitas image

Even if your pantry is close to bare, you probably have the fixin's for these super-simple and special flatbreads. The combo of sun-dried tomatoes and vinegar gives the bean spread a tangy earthiness that goes great with the tuna-and-olive salad. It's a perfect big snack or small meal. Or try the spread on your favorite crackers for party appetizers.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 15-ounce can white beans, strained and rinsed
6 sun-dried tomatoes
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing and drizzling
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt
One 5-ounce can tuna packed in water or oil, strained
1/2 cup pitted black and green olives, roughly chopped
1/2 cup pitted black and green olives, roughly chopped
1/2 cup chopped jarred roasted red peppers
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
4 pitas

Steps:

  • Pulse the beans, 4 of the sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of the oil, 2 tablespoons water, vinegar, granulated garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until blended and semi-smooth.
  • Thinly slice the 2 remaining sun-dried tomatoes. Gently toss them with the tuna, olives, roasted red peppers, the 2 remaining tablespoons oil, red pepper flakes and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl, breaking up the tuna slightly.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush one side of the pitas with oil, lay the oiled side on the griddle and cook until lightly charred in spots, about 1 minute. Transfer, charred-side up, to serving plates.
  • Spread some of the bean mixture on each pita, and top with some of the tuna-olive salad. Drizzle each with oil, and sprinkle with black pepper.

CURRIED TUNA PITA POCKETS



Curried Tuna Pita Pockets image

A crunchy flavor packed tuna salad that would work great for lunch or a light supper. The original recipe first appeared in Jolie Warner's "take a can of tuna" and as presented includes my modifications. What distinguishes this recipe is the addition of fresh basil which adds a sweet grassy flavor in contrast to the heat of the curry. Serve sandwiches with a crispy salad and enjoy. You could also turn this into an entree salad and serve pita wedges on the side. As presented, this is intended to be eaten shortly after preparation. If you are planning to chill it a few hours, I would suggest scaling back the curry powder as the flavor grows stronger and overshadows the other flavors in the salad.
