Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of coconut milk to the sauce. If you prefer a different protein, canned salmon or chickpeas can be great substitutes for tuna. To elevate the flavor, sauté the garlic before mixing it with the tuna. This dish can also be made with sweet potatoes for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish over steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the flavorful sauce. It pairs beautifully with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. For an added crunch, top with toasted nuts or seeds before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, warm it gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if it seems dry. Avoid microwaving to preserve texture.
