A Very Personal Tuna Melt
Рет қаралды 123,653
Күн бұрынThere are lots of ways to make tuna salad, and I’m sure you already have yours. Is it the way your grandmother did it, or your favorite deli or most treasured diner? Whatever that way is for you, I’m certain it’s the best way. I understand. But I don’t care. Tuna salad is ordinary, it’s affordable, it’s a pantry staple, and it can be deeply personal. This is how I make mine, and how I turn it into a very adventurous MELT.

I'm a homemade tuna salad FREAK. I love to include lemon zest, lemon juice, kewpie mayo, dijon mustard, homemade fermented hot sauce, a little soy sauce and a little Worcestershire sauce. So good on little wheat thins for a gathering.
@shannanigansisme Жыл бұрын
Worcestershire sauce never occurred to me! I may have to give that a try. Neither did soy. The hot sauce I cannot do anyway. Thanks for the inspiration.

Your additions seem yummy and very different from my tuna salad. My Mom used to put all kinds of things in tuna. Olives for one. Pickle relish for another. Mayonnaise haters crack me up. Mayonnaise in my opinion is one of the best sauces/emulsions ever invented. I find mayonnaise haters aren't happy until they tell everyone around them (every time the mayo comes out mind you:) that they hate mayonnaise. We're gluten free at our house so we do our tuna melt a bit differently. We start with very fresh corn tortillas and make a cheesy tostada in the cast iron skillet. When the cheese is all hot and bubbly I take them out of the pan and plate them. Then I pile the cold tuna on top of the cheese. The tuna stays sort of cool and the cheese and tortilla get very hot and melty and crispy. I do use cheddar but if I had muenster cheese around I would use that too. Put a bunch of hot sauce on top and enjoy.
