Wild BroccoFish recipe

[cyrano]

I had broccoli that I wanted used. I thought "Hey, if I cut up the stems and boil them with rice for, like, half an hour, that should make them somewhat edible." But I was mistaken. The stems are still chewy fibrous, and the tuna did not lend as much flavor as I would have liked. Amanda suggested, beyond the black pepper and lemon juice, some additional spice. Specifically mentioned were powdered lemon grass or ginger and cumin, all of which (individually, mind you) seemed to go with the finished concoction in a friendly manner.
As a single experiment, disappinting. But as Gregor Mendel said, if you don't get the results you like then fudge the data. No no no, not Mendel. Smiles. "We learn more wisdom from our failures than our successes." Plus? According to the labels, zero fat, even after I added the vinaigrette to make the broccoli more palatable.

Like the guy at Whole Foods told me, apparently it depends a lot on the tuna, yeah. I was looking at fish that had not been put in a can, and he showed me the different salmon he had, and the difference in size and quantity of the fatty white stripes. This is another strike on my 'eating fresh and sodium free' plan.
