Creole Tuna Food

TUNA CREOLE

Steps:

• 1. Slice the onions top to bottom about 1/3 inch apart. Saute the onions until soft (the consistency of an onion in an onion ring)
• 2. To the onions add the can of tomatoes, the pepper, garlic salt and the bay leaves. Stir up and cover pan. Let simmer low for 15 minutes, in order to develop the flavors.
• 3. At this point taste. If the tomatoes seem bitter, add a very small pinch of sugar. Add the sliced olives and cover again with another 5 minute simmer (to soften the olives and pull out the flavor) Remove bay leaves and serve.

CAJUN TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Combine eggs and dill relish. Add the rest of the ingredients, except tuna, and mix well. Then add tuna. If mixture is dry, add more Miracle Whip/mayo.

CREOLE TUNA PORTABELLA MELTS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Brush tops of mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon oil and place on a baking sheet. Broil until almost tender, 3-4 minutes per side. Place cap-sides down on baking sheet.

• Remove from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs until well coated. Gently mix in the tuna.
• Fill mushroom caps with tuna mixture and top with 2 tablespoons cheese each. Broil until cheese melts.
