TUNA CRUNCH SANDWICHES

Tuna Crunch Sandwiches image

A tuna salad and potato chip sandwich may not be quite as classic a pairing as peanut butter and jelly, but it is, anecdotally, many middle-schoolers' first forays into experimenting with flavors and textures, and no less delicious. Beyond crunch, chips also add stability to the sandwich, holding the tuna salad in place as you eat. There's no wrong way to make the sandwich, but seasoning tuna salad with red onion and celery, plenty of olive oil and little lemon juice, and using kettle-style salt and vinegar potato chips are especially alluring. There's the word "optional" next to the most optional ingredients, but consider every ingredient other than the tuna, bread and chips to be adaptable according to your own taste (or how your mom made it).

Time 5m

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 (5-ounce) can solid white albacore or skipjack tuna (see Tip)
1 hard-boiled egg, peeled
1 celery rib, finely minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (see Tip)
2 tablespoons finely minced red onion, shallot or scallions
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley, chives, tarragon or a mix (optional)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, plus more for spreading (see Tip)
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish or chopped dill pickles (optional)
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
A few large handfuls of hearty potato chips or corn chips (see Tip)
Salt and black pepper
4 slices thick, soft sandwich bread, such as Texas toast, toasted, if desired
2 lettuce leaves, such as iceberg, romaine, green leaf or Bibb

Steps:

Open the can of tuna, leaving the lid in place after opening it. Invert the whole can over the sink and press the lid into the tuna firmly to squeeze out as much excess water or oil as you can. (Be careful not to cut your fingers on any sharp edges). Transfer the tuna to a medium bowl.
Wash your hands well, then grab the boiled egg and squeeze it through your fingers into the bowl with the tuna. Add the celery, olive oil, onion, herbs (if using), mayonnaise, relish (if using) and lemon juice. Using a fork, gently fold together all the ingredients, trying to leave the tuna in relatively large chunks. Grab a few chips and, using your hands, crumble them into the bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and fold again to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste - more salt, pepper and lemon juice if it tastes bland, and more olive oil or mayonnaise if it tastes dry.
When ready for lunch, spread each slice of bread generously with mayonnaise. Place lettuce on each bottom slice of bread, then top each with half of the tuna salad mixture. Add a generous handful of potato chips on top of each (more than seems reasonable), then close the sandwiches. Press down firmly so the chips break and embed themselves into the tuna salad and the bread. Cut into triangles and serve with extra chips on the side.

Time 26m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

150 g long grain rice
1 onion
3 teaspoons cooking oil
150 g mushrooms
1 green pepper
50 g frozen peas
400 g tomato soup
1 pinch salt and pepper
1 garlic clove
185 g tuna

Steps:

Wash the rice and boil.
Peel and slice the onion and fry it gently in the butter or oil in a saucepan, until soft (2 to 3 minutes).
Wash and slice the mushrooms and pepper. Add them to the onion and fry gently, until soft (2 minutes). Add the peas, tomato soup, salt, pepper and garlic Gently stir in the drained tuna and cook for a few minutes, until hot.
Drain and fork the rice. Spoon the rice onto a plate, press into a ring and pour the tuna sauce into the middle.

Tips:

Use high-quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in vegetable oil.
Flake the tuna well. This will help the tuna salad to be more evenly mixed and easier to spread on bread.
Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the tuna salad. Some good vegetables to use include celery, onion, cucumber, and bell pepper.
Add some herbs and spices. This will help to brighten up the flavor of the tuna salad. Some good herbs and spices to use include dill, parsley, chives, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Use a good quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise will help to bind the tuna salad together and make it creamy. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil.
Chill the tuna salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and make the tuna salad more refreshing.
