Celebrate the versatility of canned food by making this super easy Tuna Nicoise Frittata using tinned tuna, sweetcorn, potatoes, green beans and olives.
When it comes to affordability and convenience you really can’t beat canned food.
As food prices are increasing and fresh produce becomes more and more expensive, it seems that as a nation we are returning to some old favourites.
Including stocking up our cupboards with lots of canned food that provides excellent value for money.
So when Love Canned Food got in touch to challenge me to prepare a delicious summer recipe which includes a selection of canned products, I jumped at the chance.
Love Canned Food is a celebration of all things canned.
Beans, pulses, tomatoes, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish.
And with a large variety of products available to buy in cans, it’s easy to prepare well-balanced, healthy and affordable meals all year round.
And with over 98% of us buying it already, we’re clearly a nation of can lovers.
For my recipe I decided to make a Tuna Nicoise Frittata. It’s the perfect summer lunch that can be eaten at home or packed up and taken out and about for a picnic or beach lunch.
Which Canned Products Did I Use?
- Canned New Potatoes (so convenient as they are already cooked and peeled!)
- Tinned tuna
- Canned sliced green beans
- Canned black olives
These were all so easy to purchase and store, leaving little to no food waste.
Fresh Produce I Also Used
- Grated Cheese
- Red Peppers
- Cherry Tomatoes
I was really pleased with how my Tuna Nicoise Frittata turned out and it’s inspired me to try out some more canned food products this summer.

How long do these last for in the fridge and can you freeze them
Kylie says
I absolutely love tinned tuna and my little one is a massive tuna fan too but I’ve never thought of putting it in a frittata before. So glad we tried this as it’s really nice! Great to just have in the fridge too when I need a quick snack instead of reaching for the biscuits!
