You’d be hard-pressed to find a kitchen cupboard anywhere in this country without a tin of tuna in it, and for good reason; on a cheesy grilled toastie, or tossed through a light garden salad, it makes for a delicious lunchtime staple.
But it also makes a great starting point for a variety of tasty dinner options and, dressed up with the right ingredients, can make a delicious meal to feed a crowd.
Here we’ve gathered all of our favourite bakes featuring tuna and either pasta, rice or potato and a mix of vegetables. We’ve even thrown in a few pies for good measure. No matter your preferences, if it has tuna and is baked – then we have one for you to try.
