I know there are many ways that people like to make tunafish. Growing up this is how my mother made it, so this is how I make it (and how I prefer it):
Tunafish:
INGREDIENTS:
Tunafish
Carrots
Celery
Onion
Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder
Mayo
In a small mixing bowl combine chopped onion, chopped carrot, chopped celery (as much or as little of all three as you like). Add a can of tuna, ground pepper (to taste), salt (to taste), garlic powder (to taste) and mayo (as much or as little as you desire).
Serve on bread; toast, toasted english muffin or with crackers.
(*my mom tends to chop the veggies rather finely, I prefer them a tad larger. and, I like to use a red onion for a slightly sweeter taste and another splash of color.)
Two variations:
Tuna - for a sweet tooth - instead or chopped veggies, or perhaps in addition to the chopped onion, add a tablespoon (or so) of relish and mix.
NOW ... how do you make your tunafish???
My tuna fish usually looks something like this:
ReplyDeleteOnion powder
Garlic powder
Ground turmeric
red pepper flakes
salt
cracked pepper
carrot (finely chopped)
celery (finely chopped)
dill pickle (coarsely chopped)
brown mustard (~1 tablespoon/can of tuna)
light mayo (~2-3 tablespoons/can of tuna)
All spices are added to taste. I use solid albacore tuna packed in water.
Sounds like a good tasty twist to try!
DeleteI make it just like Margaret - isn't that amazing. Only I tend to use more mayo - since that's what my husband likes. I also like it with sweet relish now and again - when I want to eat it like an Hors douvre - on top of saltines.
