Creole Tuna

I am always looking for something to do with tuna. It's cheap, it's low points. But it's hard to find things that aren't just tuna noodle casserole or tuna salad. So here's one that is good. Served over pasta or rice.

Creole Tuna

Serving Size : 4
Points per Serving: 2 points

2 1/4 Ounces green pepper (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup 1% low-fat milk
14 1/2 ounces stewed tomatoes -- 1 can
7 3/4 ounces light tuna in water -- 2 cans, drained
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

In a large saucepan, saute green pepper in butter until tender. Stir in the flour, sugar, salt and pepper until blended.

Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add tuna and Creole seasoning; heat through.
