Answer 1

Tuno by Natural Touch

http://www.kelloggs.com/brand/naturaltou... it is sold at natural food stores.

Make your own:

Veggie Tuna (Raw)

          o 5 lb / 2.3 kg of carrots, peeled

          o 2 stalks celery

          o 1 bell pepper, chopped (optional)

          o 1 small red onion, diced

          o 1 large tomato

          o 1/2 cup eggless mayonnaise

          o 2 T tamari (or soy sauce)

          o 1 T sea salt or other salt substitute

          o 2 t kelp seasoning

Juice the carrots in an electric juicer. Save the pulp to make this dish and enjoy the juice as a refreshing beverage.

Finely chop the celery, bell pepper, onion, and tomato. Add the pulp of the carrots to the chopped vegetables. Knead the eggless mayonnaise into the carrot pulp mixture. Next knead in the tamari. Finally, knead in the sea salt and kelp seasoning.

1/4 C finely chpped green onions

I highly recommend adding the relish. I also add a shake of paprika

100% Raw Vegan Simple Tuna Salad

Serves 4 (approximately ½ cup servings)

Equipment needed: Food processor

¾ cup soaked sunflower seeds (soak ½ cup raw seeds for 8 hours)

½ cup soaked almonds (soak 1/3 cup raw almonds for 8 hours)

2 stalks celery diced

1 clove garlic minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon dry dill weed

¼ teaspoon herbemare

1-2 tablespoons olive oil

Place all ingredients in the food processor with the S blade in place and process to desired consistency. Taste and adjust flavors to your liking.

If you prefer a more traditional tuna salad recipe you can fold into the tuna mixture, by hand, 2 tablespoons of homemade vegan mayonnaise. This really makes it delicious. Serve on a bed of romaine lettuce and top with sliced grape tomatoes. This makes an especially wonderful and healthy dish for a ladies luncheon. If you like, you can put the simple tuna salad recipe in whole wheat wraps and top with sprouts…you’ll think you are eating the real deal and the best part is, you won't have any fishy aftertaste.

"Tuna" Mushroom Casserole

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 medium onion, chopped

    2 stalks celery, chopped

    10 oz. baby portabella mushrooms, sliced

    4 tablespoon vegan margarine

    1 teaspoon soy sauce

    1/4 cup flour

    2 cups veggie broth

    1-1/2 cups unsweetened soy milk

    2 teaspoon lemon juice

    1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and mashed

    1/2 cup crushed potato chips plain

    1/2 cup French fried onions

    8 oz. fusilli pasta

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F and prepare an 8x8" glass baking dish with a quick spray of cooking oil.

Heat 1 tablespoon vegan margarine in a pan.  Add onion, celery and mushrooms and saute for a few minutes. When mushrooms give off liquid, add soy sauce.  Keep cooking until all vegetables are tender, turn off heat.

In a medium soup pot, melt the remaining 3 tablespoon vegan margarine over low heat. Stir in the flour and whisk  for a few minutes. It will get thick. Start adding the broth bit by bit, whisking all the while and bring to a boil. Add the soymilk little by little and continue to stir and simmer. Add the mushroom/celery/onion mixture and lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper and some paprika. Add the mashed chickpeas a spoonful at a time to break it up evenly throughout the sauce.

Cook pasta until al dente, approx. 9 minutes. Drain and return it to the pot.  Add the mushroom sauce to the pasta and stir gently to combine. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 15 minutes.  Uncover the dish and sprinkle crushed chips and french fried onions on top and bake for another 5-6 minutes or so or until the top is browned and crispy.

Serves: 8

Preparation time: 20-30 minute

Answer 2

Ive never had any but this sounded good!

Answer 3

There is a product called Tuno. I really don't recommend it(if they still even make it.)

A common replacement is made with canned chickpeas.

Answer 4

I use vegetarian canned chicken and then just make it like I used to make tuna fish.

http://www.vegefood.com/ushopabc.html

That is the site I buy it from. The superlinks are also really delicious. :)

Answer 5

I'm not to sure where you are but this is an american company.

Answer 6

YUM! although, i substitute in vegan organic nayonaisse from amys.com

Answer 7

Tofuna maybe??? Is it even possible to get a fish that isn't.. well? A fish? My only possible suggestion would be Whole Foods. it's a great store for vegetarians and vegans, but if fish is off the menu for these people, I would think that a tofu flavor would be your only hope.
