Provided by Mary's Nest

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 slices Sandwich bread (White or Whole Wheat)
Softened butter (Enough to butter both sides of each bread slice.)
4 tbsp Butter, unsalted (If using salted butter, omit additional salt. Other fat may be substituted, such as coconut oil, ghee, etc.)
1 small Yellow onion, diced
4 tbsp All-purpose flour
1 tsp Salt
2 cups Whole milk
2 cans Tuna
2 cups Vegetables (I used frozen peas and cooked diced carrots in my recipe video.)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set the lined baking sheet aside
  • Butter both sides of all your bread slices. Form each slice of bread into a "boat" by pinching the sides together and securing them with toothpicks. (See video.)
  • Place "boats" on the lined baking sheet, and bake in your 350°F preheated oven for 10 minutes until toasted and golden brown.
  • Open canned tuna, drain, and rinse well in a strainer. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2 minutes until translucent. Stir frequently. Stir in flour until well blended, and cook for 2 minutes but do not allow the mixture to brown. Add salt and stir well to incorporate. Gradually stir in the milk and bring the mixture up to a boil. Whisk the mixture until bubbling and thickened. Turn heat to low.
  • Add tuna and veggies to the mixture, and stir well until completely coated and warmed through.
  • Place a ladle full of your mixture into a bowl or onto a plate and place two "boats" on top of the mixture. Ladle additional mixture into each boat. Serve and enjoy!

THE BEST TUNA SANDWICH



The Best Tuna Sandwich image

Years ago, there was a deli in the town I worked and everyday faithfully, I would stop there for the Tuna sandwich (which was the best ever!) I became friends with the older lady that always worked the deli and she gave me the recipe. I will never forget what she told me.."The more colors in your Tuna, the better the flavor" sadly, the deli went out of business, but I never forgot her recipe. This tuna has lots of veggies in it, but if you dice them very small, it's so good! Remember, Tuna is a finicky meal.. too much mayo makes it watery and too little makes it dry and fishy.. be sure to use your best judgement and liking. (This recipe makes a lot) you can lessen it

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (12 ounce) cans of solid albacore tuna (in water)
1 small green bell pepper (finely diced)
1 small red bell pepper (finely diced)
1 small onion (finely diced)
1 celery (finely diced)
2 medium sized dill pickles (finely diced)
4 tablespoons mayonnaise (heaping, use a regular kitchen tablespoon)

Steps:

  • Drain tuna very well and add to large bowl
  • dice all of the above very small as indicated and add to tuna.
  • I add about 3 -4 heaping kitchen sized tablespoons of Mayo into the tuna you may have to add a little more or a little less based on your preference
  • add a few shakes of black pepper and salt (opt).
  • Chill in airtight container in fridge. The longer you let it chill, the better the flavor. This can be served on pretty much any kind of bread. My personal favorite, onion rolls or seedless rye!
  • Hope you enjoy & agree this is one of the best Tuna Sandwiches!
