CREAMED TUNA ON TOAST

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, mix tuna and soup. Gradually stir in the milk. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

HOT TUNA BUNS

TOASTED TUNA BUNS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients (except cheese) in small/medium mixing bowl.
• Mix well.
• Taste test for seasoning- make any adjustments and mix well.
• Spread on both sides of each bun.
• Put one slice of cheese on each sandwich.
• Place top bun back onto bottom bun (the cheese is in the middle this way!).
• Wrap each sandwich individually in aluminum foil and place on cookie sheet.
• Bake about 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
• FYI: This is very cheesy, so you may want to use 1/2 slice per sandwich instead- or even ditch the cheese altogether- just a matter of preference.

SEARED TUNA & AVOCADO ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat a medium (10 to 11-inch) dry cast-iron skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Brush the tuna all over with olive oil and sprinkle it generously with salt and black pepper. Sear the tuna in the skillet for exactly one minute on each side. (The inside will be raw.) Transfer to a cutting board, cut into 1/2 to 3/4-inch dice, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, the lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce, Tabasco, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Add the tuna, scallions, and jalapeño. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel, and cut 1/2 to 3/4-inch dice. Carefully stir the avocado into the tuna mixture and set aside for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the shallot and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.
• Place the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium-high heat and heat until the butter sizzles. Without opening the buns, toast them on each side for one minute, until nicely browned. Line the buns up on a platter, cut sides up, and spoon the tuna mixture into the buns. Drizzle with the Chipotle Mayonnaise and sprinkle on the pickled shallots. Serve while the buns are warm.
• Place the mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lime juice, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth. Refrigerate for up to a week.

BUNSTEADS, A.K.A. HOT TUNA MELTS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 250° while mixing the filling.
• 2. Combine all ingreds [except hot dog buns!] in a bowl. Mix lightly.
• 3. Split buns, and fill them with the tuna mixture.
• 4. If you buy your hot dog buns in a box, return the filled buns to the box in which they came. OR, wrap each filled bun in aluminum foil. Wrap kind of loosely, so the filling doesn't stick to the foil. You can wrap them all in one huge piece of foil, if that's the way you prefer to do it.
