A very tasty rich dish. I enjoy this dish at all times of the year. Can be eaten cold or hot and can even be served with rice and/or bread rolls.

Categories     Tuna

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon plain flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon paprika
lemon juice (1 squeeze)
200 g canned tuna
1/4 cup grated cheese

Steps:

  • Place the butter in a preheated saucepan and melt the butter down (on low heat).
  • Once the butter is melted down add the plain flour.
  • Stir well and cook the mixture of butter and plain flour which should go a bit lumpy and dry at this stage.
  • Very important that you cook this well (2-4 minutes).
  • Remove from heat and slowly, very slowly add the milk and stir.
  • The sauce should now be getting smooth.
  • If it is lumpy you have been adding the milk to fast.
  • Keep adding the milk until the desired thickness is achieved.
  • Add the paprika and lemon juice for a bit of extra kick.
  • Add the cheese slowly and stir in so that you can not see any grated cheese in the dish.
  • Any other herbs for a bit of extra taste.
  • Add the tuna and let it sit on low heat for 5 minutes lightly stirring every minute or so.
  • Garnish with some parsley.

Tuna Mornay is a classic dish that is always a hit with my family. I love the creamy, cheesy sauce and the tender tuna. I usually serve it over rice or pasta, but it's also great on its own.
