Tomatoes and Tuna

This is a quick, simple and easy recipe. I always have tuna in my cupboard. I also like to buy cherry tomatoes when they are on sale and freeze them. When I have a dish I will be adding COOKED cherry tomatoes to, like this one, I pull them out. Give it a try - just don't try to add frozen baby tomatoes to any fresh dishes (you must cook them once they are frozen).

-Time 20-25 minutes
-Serves 6

• 3 cup quinoa, dry
• 6 cups low sodium stock or water
• 1 tbsp garlic
• 3 cans of tuna in water, drained
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
• 1/4 tsp pepper

1. Prepare the quinoa with stock or water (or 1/2 of each), simmering on low heat for 20 minutes or until fluids are absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and cover.
2. While qunioa is cooking, place garlic, tuna and tomatoes in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stiring frequently until the tomatoes have popped and broken down and everything is sausy. You can use your spoon to help break the tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Fluff qunioa with a fork. Serve 1 cup of quinoa with the tomato tuna sauce and a side of non-starchy vegetables like green beans, stir fry vegetables or normandy vegetable blend.
