Tuna Stuffed Shells

I bought some shells for stuffing and then realized I didn't know what to do with them. I was talking to someone who said she was going to make some stuffed with salmon and served with a cream sauce. We don't like salmon and can't have cream sauce so I came up with this. Now I didn't measure everything exactly, but it is a very forgiving recipe. You can add stuff or use less and it will still come out okay.

Start by boiling a package of Tinkyada large shells for 17 minutes, then put cold water over (change it a few times to cool) to stop the cooking.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce and filling.

For the sauce, use a large white onion, 6 stalks of celery and 4 handfuls of mushrooms. Clean and cut into whatever size you need to, to fit in your food processor. Pulse a few times to chop, then process into a fairly smooth paste.

Coat a large skillet with some light olive oil (or the oil of your choice) and add the sauce. Cook until the vegetables are tender, then if too thick, add some plain rice milk, a small amount at a time until you have the texture you want. Now sometimes when you do this, more water will seep out of the veggies and you'll have to add a small amount of sweet rice flour to thicken it up again. I didn't have to do that tonight. Season with a bit of salt, pepper and parsley. When you have the desired consistancy, turn off the heat.

For the filling, mix two large pouches of tuna and about 8 slices of vegan rice cheese. Use a fork to break up the cheese. Add about 8 oz. of frozen peas, a few shakes of Herbamare seasoning and a bit of parsley. Mix well.

Now take a 2 quart casserole and cover the bottom with a bit of the sauce to prevent sticking. Add a layer of your shells, open sides up, and allowing a bit of room between each because they can expand while baking. I used a long handled ice tea spoon for filling, putting about two spoonfuls in each shell. When filled, add another layer of shells, and fill. Keep doing this until all the shells are filled. Then top with your sauce, cover and bake at 350 for about a half an hour or until heated through.

I think this recipe would also work well with cooked chopped chicken, turkey or ham, but you'd want to change the seasonings with ham because Herbamare contains salt.

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and...

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see...
