"There are many traditional and delicious canned tuna recipes, like casseroles and salads, that you've likely eaten one too many times. Then, there are the ways to transform canned tuna into a gourmet meal. But why not use that tinned fish in your pantry for a meal that falls somewhere between those two culinary categories? We're talking about combining the fish with barbecue sauce to mimic pulled pork."
"The barbecue-style tuna can also be customized with a variety of other ingredients, from diced jalapeños for heat to celery to add crunch. So, get inventive with your favorite BBQ sauce and can of tuna. For one or two servings, a five-ounce can of tuna is enough, but you can use more to feed a family or crowd."
"To resemble pulled pork even more, kick it up a notch with a few extra steps. Sauté vegetables like onion or celery in a pan, add your sauce, then stir in the tuna. Bring to a boil to thicken the sauce, reduce the heat, then serve warm. Serve the tuna mixture on a potato or brioch"
Mixing canned tuna with barbecue sauce produces a pulled-pork-style sandwich or warm dish that leverages barbecue's sweet-spicy profile to mimic pork flavors. Canned tuna is affordable and pre-cooked, which shortens prep time and reduces cleanup. The mixture can be served cold on lettuce wraps, bread, chips, or crackers, or heated after sautéing vegetables and simmering to thicken the sauce. Customizable additions include diced jalapeños for heat, celery for crunch, raw red onion, or blue cheese crumbles. A five-ounce can serves one to two people; multiple cans serve larger groups. Drain and break up the tuna before mixing.
