Wow! This recipe gets 5 stars simply for the surprise factor. The family wanted tuna and noodles, but I had tuna and rice in the cupboard and the oven was in self-clean mode and useable. I came looking for a recipe I could make on the stove with tuna and rice.<br/><br/>At first this recipe did not look appealing at all. Tuna and curry???? Never thought of it before. Well, I made it and LOVED it. DH loved it too. He had to ask what kind of fish I used. It tasted like a lot more than a can of tuna! Both the girls (5 & 8) asked for seconds. The 8 year old only gave it 3 stars, but I think it was because she was in the mood for the traditional casserole - oh, and I added frozen peas.<br/><br/>I made as below except instead of the water/half and half/flour I used I can of coconut milk as that is what I had in the house. I also used 3 cans tuna and added the peas to make it enough for our family.<br/><br/>Thanks! This recipe is a keeper I will make again! -
I gave this four stars instead of five only because not everyone in my family liked this recipe. I thought it was quite tasty :) The only change I made was to add a few bell peppers so we had some more veggies in our dinner. Thanks for the great recipe, I'll be making this again for at least the 3 of us who ate it! Oh, and we did add the peanuts which everyone liked. -
I really enjoyed this. It gets 5 stars from me simply for being a great new way for me to sneak more fish into my family's diet. Didn't taste "fishy" at all. Plus, it was extremely quick to put together! -
This was pretty tasty and very quick. My 3 and 5 year olds inhaled it like they'd never seen food before. The 6 year old was just in a mood but I think he would've liked it too. Will definitely double the recipe next time though, as it doesn't make as much as it seems. Thanks Zusie! -
Yummmy! and easy. I halved the recipe and it was still enough for me, my hubby and our 2 year old for lunch. I also substituted chicken broth for water. Too bad I didn't find this recipe while pregnant because I would have saved a fortune in takeout since it tastes better, is faster and much cheaper. I admit was nervous about using tuna instead of chicken but the seasoning seemed to mellow the strong flavor of canned tuna in olive oil.

We enjoyed this dish Zusie! I used 2 heaping tablespoons curry powder, also I sauteed fresh garlic and a jalapeno pepper with the onion, also I used cooked chicken in place of the tuna. This is a wonderful dish, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:)

I am a proud mother of three healthy boys aged 15,11 and 5. I'm originally from the tiny island of Bermuda and have been living in Edinburgh since July 2005.
I've been collecting recipes since I was about 14 or 15 and been cooking and baking since then as well.
I love all kinds of crafts also. In my spare time if I'm not in the kitchen; I crochet, make jewelry, bead, knit, sew, cross stitch, do plastic canvas and quilt. I have a short attention span, so I have plenty of different craft choices when I get bored of doing something. Oh, and I also like to read, listen to music, fiddle with any electronic gadget, collect dvd's and watch them, and I'm an internetaholic! :-) I keep a craft blog at http://hobbyzu.blogspot.com and I sell my crocheted items and patterns at http://hobbyzu.com. I keep pretty busy and being self employed gives me more time to explore cooking! :-)
I'm mostly interested in cook books featuring regular old home cooking and favorites. When I moved to the UK I had to get rid of my cookbook collection. I did keep all my Bermudian cookbooks, charity cookbooks and 'The Foods of Israel Today' and Better Homes and Gardens 'Hometown Favorites'.

I am most passionate when it comes to my family and caring for them. Getting to feed them is an added bonus! Lucky for me, my boys are steadily growing pigs with bottomless pits for stomachs! lol :-)
