Description:

This Tuna Fish Mold recipe, sourced from “The High Fibre Cookbook for Diabetics” by Mabel Cavaiani, R.D., is not only delicious but also a healthy option, perfect for a quick lunch or snack. It’s easy to prepare, requires no cooking, and is kid-friendly. Serve it on a bed of lettuce leaves, garnished with tomato slices, for a delightful presentation.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (approximately 170g) tuna fish, drained well and broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 package sugar-free lemon gelatin
  • 1 3/4 cups boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pimiento
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Tuna: Begin by draining the tuna fish well. Break it into bite-sized pieces and refrigerate until needed.

  2. Dissolve Gelatin: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar-free lemon gelatin in boiling water. Stir well until completely dissolved. Then, refrigerate the gelatin mixture until it’s slightly thickened.

  3. Combine Ingredients: Once the gelatin mixture has thickened, add the refrigerated tuna fish pieces, chopped chives, green onion, pimiento, and celery. Mix everything together gently until well combined.

  4. Fill Molds: Pour the mixture into four individual molds, distributing it evenly among them.

  5. Refrigerate: Place the molds in the refrigerator and let them chill until the mixture is fully set and firm.

  6. Serve: Once the tuna fish molds are firm, it’s time to serve! Carefully unmold each serving onto lettuce leaves, and garnish with slices of fresh tomato for an extra burst of flavor and color.
