It’s such a welcome change from other meat dishes – there’s only so much chicken, beef, and pork you can eat every week. And it’s really healthy, too…
Tuna is incredibly nutritious and packed with protein, and it contains B-Complex Vitamins, Vitamins A and D as well as the minerals iron, selenium and phosphorus.
More significantly, it’s also an excellent source of healthy fat in the form of omega 3, which is considered beneficial to optimum brain function, eye health, and also to the lowering of bad cholesterol.
And, I was pleased to learn, this goes for both tuna steaks and canned tuna.
And when it comes to recipes for tuna pie, I could barely believe how many variations there are for it on the internet. But, I’ve done my due diligence, and sussed out the best ones. And now I intend to share my findings with you.
