Involtini Di Tonno Messinese Tuna Rolls Recipes

SPICY TUNA ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine tuna, chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Mix the mayonnaise and chili paste in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. Slice the cucumbers lengthwise, as thinly as possible into approximately 5-inch lengths. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the tuna tartar on one end of the cucumber slice. Roll up. The cucumber, when very thinly sliced, will stick together and stay rolled without a toothpick. Continue making rolls with the remaining ingredients.
• Top each roll with 1/4 teaspoon dollop of spicy mayonnaise and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

TARRAGON-DIJON TUNA SALAD ON MUSTARD ROLLS

Steps:

• Thoroughly whisk together dressing ingredients in a large bowl. Add tuna to bowl and toss to coat with dressing. Fold in the remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve tuna salad on mustard rolls with lettuce.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, stir water, yeast, salt, oil, mustard, and 2 cups of flour together; beat until mixed. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating until the dough holds together. Remove from mixer and knead on a floured surface until dough springs back when poked with your finger. Place in an oiled bowl and let rise until doubled in size. Punch down and let rise again. Knead lightly and shape into rolls. Let rise 1 more time and then brush with glaze.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Let rolls cool for 5 minutes before slicing in half and serving with a hearty portion of tuna salad topped with lettuce.
