Recipe: Dukan Diet Spicy Tuna Egg Scramble
By DK | August 21, 2011 |
Well ladies and gentlemen, here’s another great recipe for ya, especially if you’re following the Dukan Diet. It’s nothing completely original, but just another way to make a dish that I’ve always enjoyed in the past but have been unable to eat since going on my diet. Where this comes from is my love for a good old fashioned egg and sausage scramble. Because the Dukan Diet is low fat, sausage is off the menu for a while, so it’s pretty much just been plain old scrambled eggs for me, until today.
So why tuna scrambled with eggs? Well, the other night I was planning to make Dukan Diet crab cakes, but was out of crab meat. I was too lazy to go to the store, and I had some tuna on hand, so I decided to make tuna patties instead. That turned out really good also. But it got me thinking about other ways to use the tuna that I had on hand, and of course I had some eggs in the fridge, so I figured if I could add an egg to the tuna pattie mix, why couldn’t I just scramble me up some eggs with tunna added to them? Same difference, right? Just a different ratio of the ingredients. So I decided to give it a shot this morning. And let me tell ya, it turned out GREAT! It’s not sausage, but the tuna goes really well with the scrambled eggs. Here’s how I put it together this morning:
I used a 3:1 ratio of eggs to tuna (three eggs to one 4.5 oz can of tuna). Drain the tuna (packed in water) and add it to a a warm skillet set between medium to medium high heat. While the tuna is heating, beat the three eggs in a separate dish. You can add a touch of milk to the eggs if you wish, but I prefer to go with just the eggs. Add some crushed or powdered chile peppers of your choosing to the eggs and mix well. Then just add the eggs to the tuna and scramble together in the pan. You can also add some diced onion and/or bell pepper to the scramble as well to add a little more flavor and color. Once the eggs are done, or just before, top with grated or sliced cheese of your choice (I prefer pepper jack) and serve up with a side of freshly sliced tomato. That’s it.
Nothing spectacular, but it’s a really quick meal that makes for a great start to your day! Enjoy!
EDIT: I forgot to add, be sure to use your favorite hot sauce with this dish to really give it a spicy kick!
