Awesome Tuna Sandwich Food

SANDWICH ESSENTIALS: AWESOME TUNA AND COLESLAW

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. It is no secret that my favorite tuna is Wild Planet... Not just because they are sustainably fished, but it tastes so dang good. If you can get it, I would suggest you give it a try. Regardless of your choice, make sure it is water packed. https://www.wildplanetfoods.com
• 3. The coleslaw I am using is a typical variety, much like a Kentucky coleslaw. Here is the recipe that I used: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/andy-s-amazing-coleslaw.html?r=3
• 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 5. Drain the tuna, add to a bowl with the other sandwich ingredients, and lightly toss, until just combined.
• 6. Chef's Note: If you substitute white pepper, for the black, you will get more of a "sweet" heat. In addition, if you add a dash or two Frank's hot sauce, you will give it a bit of a savory kick that goes quite well with the coleslaw.
• 7. Divide the tuna, and add half each to the bottom of two toasted buns.
• 8. Chef's Tip: I added some butter lettuce leaves to the toasted buns for two reasons: First, I like butter lettuce. Second, it insulates the bun from the tuna, and helps keep it from getting soggy.
• 9. If you want to kick it up, add two thinly-sliced tomatoes, top with a piece of provolone, and stick under a broiler, for about 30 seconds. Mmmmmm.
• 10. Chef's Tip: If you are using the tomatoes, sprinkle a bit of salt, and black pepper on them before adding the provolone. Tomatoes just beg for salt and black pepper.
• 11. PLATE/PRESENT
• 12. Serve with chips or fries, a nice pickle (sweet or dill), and maybe a few tall cold ones. Enjoy.
• 13. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

THE BEST TUNA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Drain tuna very well and add to large bowl
• dice all of the above very small as indicated and add to tuna.
• I add about 3 -4 heaping kitchen sized tablespoons of Mayo into the tuna you may have to add a little more or a little less based on your preference
• add a few shakes of black pepper and salt (opt).
• Chill in airtight container in fridge. The longer you let it chill, the better the flavor. This can be served on pretty much any kind of bread. My personal favorite, onion rolls or seedless rye!
