This thread is too yummy to stay away!! Anyway, a local chef just opened a market near me & he has some awesome looking tuna -- so I think I'll have to try this recipe this weekend!!

Thanks Obi for taking the time to post all these!! You're a dear!

thank you for coming back time and time again jens
i'll keep posting em up
see if he can get other kinds of tuna and not just ahi
tombo/albacore is not red but still pretty tasty and far cheaper
nice alternative

my newest thing playing with:

pappadums

they are a type of flatbread used in East Indian food
made from lentil flour
50 cals
5 g carbs
3 g fat if fried

i do not fry them i grill them
they become crispy and come in a variety of flavours
my faves are the garlic and red chili flavours (go figure)

what i do is i fry up alittle ground meat with what ever spices i like (think taco)
then wrap it in a lettuce leaf with red onions and tomatoes
then grill a pappadum
while still warm they are pliable so i use to wrap around the package

 

[obiwan9962]

pappadums again
grill em and top with a brown ground meat, lettuce, red onions, cheddar,guac and salsa
think tostada

or put brown meat, salsa and cheese between two and brown ins skillet or under broiler or on grill

 

[obiwan9962]

more pappadums

grill/fry em and break em up and use for croutons in your caeser salads
i know you low-carbers have missed your croutons
i have
til now
