Tuna Rolls Sandwiches Recipes

TUNA MELT SLIDERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, use a fork to mix the tuna, celery, mayonnaise, pickle relish, salt and pepper.
• Spread tuna salad on bottom of rolls. Place ¼ slice of American cheese on each. Replace tops.
• Arrange sandwiches in a single layer in a greased 8-inch-square baking pan.
• In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir 1-2 minutes.
• Whisk in the brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Continue whisking until brown sugar is dissolved.
• Pour butter sauce over sandwiches.
• Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake sliders, covered, for 25 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown on top.

SEARED TUNA & AVOCADO ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat a medium (10 to 11-inch) dry cast-iron skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Brush the tuna all over with olive oil and sprinkle it generously with salt and black pepper. Sear the tuna in the skillet for exactly one minute on each side. (The inside will be raw.) Transfer to a cutting board, cut into 1/2 to 3/4-inch dice, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, the lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce, Tabasco, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Add the tuna, scallions, and jalapeño. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel, and cut 1/2 to 3/4-inch dice. Carefully stir the avocado into the tuna mixture and set aside for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the shallot and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.
• Place the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium-high heat and heat until the butter sizzles. Without opening the buns, toast them on each side for one minute, until nicely browned. Line the buns up on a platter, cut sides up, and spoon the tuna mixture into the buns. Drizzle with the Chipotle Mayonnaise and sprinkle on the pickled shallots. Serve while the buns are warm.
• Place the mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lime juice, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth. Refrigerate for up to a week.

GRILLED TUNA ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal grill with hot coals. Brush the grill with oil.
• Brush both sides of the tuna with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cook the tuna over the hot coals for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate. The tuna should be seared on the outside and raw inside. Allow to cool and cut into cubes.
• (If you don't want to heat a grill, you can sear the tuna in a dry saute pan over high heat. Heat the pan for 2 minutes, add the tuna steaks and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side until seared on the outside and still raw inside.)
• For the dressing, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the lime zest, lime juice, wasabi powder, soy sauce, hot sauce, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Toss the avocado in the dressing and then add the tuna, red onion, scallion, and sesame seeds. Line the rolls with arugula leaves, fill with the tuna mixture, and serve.

TUNA AND HUMMUS SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Drain the oil from the tuna, reserving the oil. Place the tuna in a mixing bowl and flake it with a fork. Add the celery, onion, cornichons, lemon juice, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil, the mustard, salt, and pepper and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.
• Toast the bread and spread each slice with a layer of hummus. Spread the tuna salad on each piece of bread, garnish with slices of radish, and serve immediately.
• For the Hummus:
• Place the chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of the reserved liquid, the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until coarsely pureed. The hummus should be moist and thick; add more lemon juice or reserved chickpea liquid to thin, if necessary. Cover and refrigerate for several hours for the flavors to blend. Taste for seasonings. Yield: 2 cups.
