HARD TIMES CREAMED TUNA

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir flour into melted butter until smooth and slowly stream milk into the mixture while whisking continually. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir tuna into the milk mixture; season with salt and pepper. Cook until tuna is warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Ladle tuna mixture over toasted bread to serve.

ULTIMATE COMFORT CREAMED TUNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°; on a lightly floured surface, roll the dough lightly just to smooth it, then cut it into two pieces, each about 3 by 4 1/2 inches.
• Put pastry on a small baking sheet and bake in the hot oven until puffed and nicely browned, 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add in the flour and whisk until smooth, then whisk for about 30 seconds.
• Add in the milk, whisk vigorously until the sauce is smooth, then reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking often, another 2-3 minutes to cook off the floury taste.
• Season generously with salt and pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
• The tuna should be creamy and loose, but not runny.
• Add a little more milk, and reheat gently, if necessary.
• Split the pastries in half horizontally, with your knife parallel to the work surface, as though you were splitting open a sandwich roll, and put the bottoms on two small plates.
• Spoon the creamed tuna on the base, then cover with the top; serve immediately.
