Curried Tuna & Sweetcorn Sauce
"I can't believe that this student staple isn't on Zaar somewhere, but I certainly can't find it anywhere! This is my slightly more grown-up adaptation of the old store-cupboard standby where you take a can of tuna, a can of sweetcorn and a can of condensed mushroom soup. You can serve it with rice, or pasta, or toast, or baked potatoes..."

I thought this was really good - quick, simple, and I had all the ingredients handy. I added a few diced carrots in with the onion, (just for some extra colour and nutrition), and served it over rice. Will make again, thanks for posting! -
QUick and easier, and easy to double. added a hint of nutmeg, ginger and a little garlic, just out of habit. Thanks for sharing -
A really great, easy supper recipe, using items that I had in my cupboard. My picky husband had 2 helpings. I served it over white rice. -
I really loved this recipe- I dont eat fish myself but made it for my husband and tasted it when finished, it almost converted me back to eating fish! I added more curry and hot pepper sauce as we like food very spicy, very good recipe and versatile
