@@jessie551 I’m sure it’s fine. Kosher salt is lower sodium than table salt. Few people know this.

@mm9773 Жыл бұрын

@@travixx07 Thank you, it all makes sense now. To be precise: salt is salt, kosher salt is not “low sodium” at all, but the crystals are bigger and not as dense as the table salt granules: a tablespoon of table salt weighs about 24 grams or so, and a tablespoon of kosher salt only 12 to 15 grams. Don’t quote me on the exact numbers, but this is the main difference between kosher salt and table salt (there are others, but they’re not relevant for this). So when Molly throws fists full of kosher salt into the pot, she is actually using a lot less than many of us think. I honestly thought she was trolling. Mystery solved. This is particularly confusing to Europeans, because while flaky salt or salt in larger crystals is avaible here, it’s usually not sold as “kosher salt”.

That looks so good! A counterintuitive idea is to make a thinner layer of tuna, but put 2 types of cheese (like mozzarella and sharp cheddar), each one on top of their respective side of the bread. So it ends like bread, cheese 1, tuna salad, cheese 2, bread.

Pro-tip: use a pastry cutter to mash your tuna / chicken / egg / crab salad. It produces such a lovely texture and in terms of tuna, gives it that almost pâté consistency you’re after!

Pretty much how I make my tuna salad. When I make a melt, though, I like to sear the tuna salad directly in the pan on both sides, like a patty or even like a hash, and then put it in the sandwich. Then you have a nice, crispy caramelized flavor throughout. A variation is to lay down some finely sliced onions and press the salad onto it to sear them, then flip and sear and add to bread and grill. Also helps with melting the cheese.

I bet candied Jalapenos diced up would be good in this A friend did a slice of candied jalapeno, a little smoked salmon, a smear of cream cheese on a ritz cracker-- a good bite. Might do it as a open face sandwich were you broil the cheese also. Some of those spicy pickled carrots that come with pickled Jalapeno in a can might be good also. Stone ground mustard- is nice the seeds burst. Apple is nice also. Not sure how I feel about egg. radish slices can be interesting also.
