Directions

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients: Drain the tuna, toast the cashews if they are not pre-toasted, slice the vegetables, and mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Set aside.

Step 4

Add the drained tuna chunks on top of the vegetables, spreading them out evenly.

Step 5

Pour the coconut milk mixture and vegetable broth over the tuna and vegetables. Stir gently to combine without breaking up the tuna too much.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for 3 hours or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well combined.

Step 7

Stir in the toasted cashews during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 9

Serve the Tuna Cashew Crock Pot over warm cooked rice if desired, and garnish with sliced green onions for extra freshness.
