A challenge from the thespecialktreatment blog.
A simple "Me meal" that I have never grown tired of since childhood is made with the good 'ole standby Tunafish (canned that is).
Put the tuna in a bowl and grind with fork until only small chunks are left. Add mayonnaise in the amount desired. Take 1/4 onion and dice into minuscule bits and add to bowl. Cut about half of a celery stick into very small pieces and add to the bowl also. Now here's a little secret, although you might think it's crazy-add just a few drops of lemon juice from a fresh lemon. Mix it altogether well. Cut up fresh lettuce into long threads and two slices of tomato very thin and put them to the side.
Now, you can used whatever type bread that you like, I like whole wheat, but toast it up to the desired darkness. When it toasts, slap on a good amount of tuna sprinkled with lettuce and the two slices of tomato.
This is my simple to make, yet always satisfying me meal :)
A toast to myself: From childhood memories, to adult gratification. A me meal moment brings true satisfaction!
Cheers!

This is so cool! I've made tuna this way before and I love it. But only difference is that I've never thought of putting the lemon, or lettuce and tomatoes - which I think is a great idea! (I do however add a little salt and pepper). Thanks for sharing this, I'm going to try it.. :) I can already taste how much better it would be with these additions.
ReplyDeleteHi Penny, welcome :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad there's someone else out there that has a similar taste in "Me meals." Bon appetit!
Hey Bobby. I was totally not expecting to find a recipe here, but it was a fun surprise. I'm not a big tuna fan, but maybe I need to give it another try.
ReplyDeleteHi Tina, hahaha you're right. Normally I write about relationships (in one form or another), but if there's a good blog that I follow which does one of these contests from time to time, I'll participate. Hey, it's kind of a relationship-a relationship with food lol
ReplyDeleteI am all about this dish. Add relish too, though.
ReplyDeleteSeparately, Bobby, you probably know that Single Women Rule linked to your blog. (Yay!) The link in the text works, but the link from the logo doesn't work. It's a bigger target for the cursor, so maybe people will try to go via the logo instead of the text. Though if I was smart enough to figure it out. . . = )

Hi Christina, relish? hmmm I might give it a try :)
ReplyDeleteOh, no I didn't know that they linked me, thanks so much for telling me! I think in the logo they have the www which is probably the reason.
Thanks again!
So fun! Thanks for participating...you know that I panini grilled a PBJ this week!
ReplyDeleteYes special K, fun and popular it seems! I'm getting the feeling that you really enjoy a grilled PBJ :)
