Tuna mix included green olives, onion, pepperoncini, jalapeno, mayo, mustard. The bread is pumpernickel rye that I crusted with cotija cheese. For the cheese I went with smoked cheddar.

Was it tasty? Yes. The extra crunch from the cheese crust was amazing. I gotta use up this cotija before it goes bad and it is a perfect parmesan substitute for lots of things.

Cost was about $5.25 per person.

Thank you. For the rest of time I will be referring to squash as squish.

It's the default in this house.

I love pickles in tuna salad. I need to try pickled hot peppers! Sounds so good.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Give apples a shot. Honey crisps are amazing in tuna.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

The olives and the pepperoncini were and olives were pickled but the jalapeno was fresh. I wanted that crispness in it.

Oof, I've never put nearly that much flavorful stuff into tuna for a sandwich, this sounds amazing. What have I been doing?!

Go whole hog with Mathew McConaughey recipe:

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

1/3 cup crispy jalapeno chips

1/4 cup chopped apple

1/2 tablespoon agave syrup

1/2 cup fresh corn kernels

1/4 cup frozen peas

Directions

Step 1: Make the dressing

In a small mixing bowl, combine the white wine vinegar, lemon juice, mayonnaise and wasabi paste.

Next, combine the canned tuna and dressing in a medium bowl and stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3: Toss in everything but the kitchen sink

That is a LOT of stuff hahaha I wanna try it!

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ha, you and me both. I got the ingredients together a while back and then entirely spaced on it. Time to restock the perishables and give it a go.

[–] PolarKraken@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Dang, I know how that goes. Makes for a good dish for folks like us in that case, lot of it keeps for quite a while lol

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

You had me until the agave and corn. I'm a "corn belongs on the cob, nixtamalized for tortillas and not much else" kind of person. Much to the disappointment of my wife who thinks corn can make most anything better.

I'd just sub honey on that agave. Not a fan of overpriced sugars, especially when they haven't reached their full potential by being fermented and mixed with triple sec, lime and ice.

Disappointing you, myself, and so, so many taste buds

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

We all learn things for the first time. Today I figured out that a cheese crusted sandwich is not just possible but adds that extra crunch that makes it awesome.

[–] PolarKraken@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That does make it tasty, I can stand to do a bit more of that too. Here's my decadent unconventional (but extremely easy) sandwich topper - crunch-less, sadly, but could probably be improved with some cheese crustin.

I like to melt some butter with red miso, about 50/50 or so? You'll know the consistency after messing around a bit. Red miso is super dense flavor wise of course and also doesn't mix easily, so yeah. Today I put it thinly on half a bagel, cream cheese on the other half, toasted, random stuff in between. You can add brown sugar to make it sweeter, or any kind of spice, also both lol.

Meanwhile I couldn't eat breakfast until after I made a batch of walnut, pecan and craisin granola because I was too busy buying a car for 8 hours yesterday to make it then. Didn't get my breakfast until noon as a result.
