CREAMED TUNA ON TOAST

CREAMED TUNA AND PEAS

Steps:

• Begin by melting the margarine in a 2-quart saucepan. Use a fork or a whisk to stir in the flour making sure it is smooth. Gradually stir in the milk. If you have a whisk you can go a little faster because a whisk can beat out any lumps. If you are using a fork then go very slowly so you can keep the mixture smooth. When the mixture is smooth stir in the sugar, salt and pepper. Cook and stir the sauce until it begins to boil. Allow it to boil for a full minute by the clock. Now remove the sauce from the heat.
• Drain the peas and the tuna. Stir gently and reheat only till boiling again. Do not overcook or the peas will get mushy. Serve over buttered toast or biscuits, rice, or noodles. The salt may be replaced with celery salt or garlic salt if desired.
• To use fozen peas instead of canned, simply replace the canned peas with 2 cups frozen peas. Allow the sauce to reheat for a minute or two so you will be sure the peas are cooked through. Do not ovecook the frozen peas wither. This is vital for a good dish.

CREAMED TUNA OR CHICKEN WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Drain tuna or chop chicken finely.
• Bring chicken stock (and optional mushrooms if desired), to a boil. Add celery seed and thyme.
• Use a fork or a whisk to combine cornstarch with cold milk. Adjust amount according to whether you want a thicker or thinner sauce. Add to boiling stock, reduce heat, and stir until the sauce simmers gently.
• Add tuna/chicken, peas, and sherry.
• Heat through and season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
• Remove from heat. Let sit, keeping warm, for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
• Serve over the starch of your choice -- rice, toast points, noodles, cornbread (I suggest recipe Recipe #277295 ), biscuits, etc.
• Note -- if you have no homemade chicken stock I suggest using a good soup base (Tones brand is available in Sam's Club). Both bullion cubes and canned chicken broth are inferior substitutes for real stock and a dish this simple depends on the quality of the ingredients for good flavor.
• Tip -- if you enjoy tuna casserole but have give it up because of the salt in the mushroom soup try using a suitable quantity of this recipe (with or without the peas), as a substitute for the diluted soup.
