Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tuna

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons grass-fed butter
1 medium head green cabbage, shredded
1 cup chopped onion
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons lemon zest
lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons dried dill
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 ¼ cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
3 (5 ounce) cans albacore tuna, drained
½ cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil and butter in an extra large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage, onion, celery, garlic, salt, and pepper; saute until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Mix in lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, and mustard powder.
  • Pour heavy cream into the pan and add 1 cup Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until cheese has melted and combined with the cream, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in tuna and peas and sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the dish.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Place the skillet under the preheated broiler. Broil on high until the Parmesan on top of the casserole makes a golden brown crust, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna. Fresh or canned tuna steaks or fillets are the best choices for this casserole. Avoid tuna packed in water, as it will make the casserole watery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include zucchini, asparagus, and mushrooms.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a creamy sauce. The sauce in this casserole is made with cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. This makes it rich and flavorful.
  • Top the casserole with cheese. A layer of cheese on top of the casserole will help to brown it and give it a nice crust.

Conclusion:

Low-carb tuna casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. This casserole is low in carbs and high in protein, making it a healthy option for people who are watching their weight or following a low-carb diet.
