Quick Tuna Curry

Quick Tuna Curry ~ Traditional Indian curry of aromatic spices, onions, peppers, and tomatoes, with solid white albacore, making this no boring tuna dish.

We were recently in Southern California to visit with my grandparents. This wasn’t our typical fun-in-the-sun trip (although my now over-two-week-old sunburn begs to differ), we had gone to visit and see where we could help out.

Eating out is great. Eating out in SoCal is even greater. Each trip out there, I always get in a couple of my favorites places, after that, it’s home cooking, comfort food style. However, this trip was more eating out than eating all my favorite childhood comfort foods.

Once the kid and I got home, I was ready to cook again. School was to start in a couple of days, so it was time to get back into a routine. School has now started and we’re paying for our laid back summer schedule. Alarm clocks, homework, strict bedtime; it’s all hitting us with a vengeance. But slowly we’re getting adjusted to the new normal, or is it the old normal? Either way, we’re settling in.

Once Elizabeth gets home from school, has a snack, relaxes or plays for a bit, and her does homework, it’s dinner time. That means I need healthy, but tasty dinners fast. In my book, you can never have too many 30 minute meals. And the only thing I love more than 30 minute meals is 30 minute meals using pantry staples.

The ingredients for this Quick Tuna Curry are probably in your cupboards and crisper now. Dice up some bell peppers and onions, grab the spices, open up the coconut milk, tomatoes, and tuna and you’re in business.Now if you’re wondering why tuna, why not? Bumble Bee® Solid White Albacore Tuna adds many nutrients to this or any recipe, including lean protein, healthy fat, and important vitamins and minerals, plus it has a firm texture, light color, and fresh taste. Basically, using Bumble Bee® Solid White Albacore Tuna allows me to have a healthy protein in the fraction of the time, making 30 minutes meals less than 30 minute meals-and who doesn’t love that?
