OPEN-FACED TUNA MELT SANDWICH
To take a tuna melt from good to great, it has to have all the right components. In other words, plain mayo alone won't cut it. Here's how we do it: open-faced with crusty toasted bread, melty cheese, capers, cornichons, Dijon mustard, and plenty of seasoning. On a chilly fall day, nothing tastes better.

TUNA BURGERS
Life can't be about all beef. "Where's The Beef?" questions are fewer nowadays due to an influx of health concerns, as well as those that are watching their weight. The Longmeadow Farm is following suit and will openly and warmly embrace these new "burgers" to grace our "Saturday Lunch at the Farm" crowd. I wanted to produce a light(ish) tuna burger that made Dennis, Jerry, Uncle Dick, and my Dad feel as light as a Spring beetle floating around on a wind current after lunch. This recipe did it. Everyone was full, but not so full they wanted to clamber off to the backyard hammock, and pull their hat over their face. This gave them enough energy to have their giddy-up for all the many maelstroms that would undoubtedly follow them around for the afternoon. Go ahead, try them "Maryland" style with the use of our beloved "Old Bay Seasoning" and get ready to work hard this afternoon. Can be easily doubled for a big crowd.

OPEN FACE TUNA MELT SANDWICH
These have become a quick dinner staple. They are sooo good, and comes together in minutes. You can change the type of cheese, but I've found that something with a stronger flavor that melts well, is best. The type of bread I use is called Saloio and is similar to Ciabbata (Saloio is a portuguese bread readily available at our supermarket bakery).

Steps:
- Cut fish into 1" cubes. Place in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to freezer. Chill protein until very cold (it should feel firm but still give when pressed with your finger), about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place all grinding parts (the stand mixer's grinding attachment, including the dies, or the bowl and blade of the food processor) in the freezer until very cold, at least 15 minutes. Assemble grinder attachment with chilled coarse die. Set a bowl in a large bowl of ice; arrange beneath the attachment to catch ground tuna and keep it cold.
- Combine tuna, scallions, ginger, and garlic in a large bowl. Grind mixture in batches, with mixer on medium speed, and plunge gently to press through grinder. Add mayonnaise, grapeseed or canola oil, and toasted sesame oil to ground tuna mixture. Mix gently just to combine.
- Form into four 1/2"-thick patties. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill or pan-fry burgers over medium heat until just cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality tuna. Opt for solid white tuna packed in water or oil. Avoid tuna packed in brine, as it can be too salty.
- Don't overmix the tuna mixture. Overmixing can make the burgers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Form the burgers gently. Handle the tuna mixture gently to avoid breaking it up. Use a burger press or your hands to form the burgers.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat. Cooking over high heat can make the burgers dry and tough. Cook them over medium heat until they are cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Serve the burgers immediately. Tuna burgers are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served on buns with your favorite toppings, or on a bed of greens with a drizzle of dressing.
Conclusion:
Open-face tuna burgers are a delicious and easy way to enjoy tuna. They are perfect for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner. With a variety of toppings to choose from, there is sure to be a tuna burger that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give open-face tuna burgers a try.
