Fell in Love With the Glory Hole - Part Two

"Mock Tuna" Melt

Listening to: Uriah Heep - Demons and Wizards

I haven't made this in awhile but it was nice out and I started to think about about various salad and sandwiches I could make since I detest turning on the oven when it gets hot out. This Mock Tuna recipe can be used a few ways so you can really get some mileage out of it.

1 can chick peas (garbanzo beans) drained
1 stalk of celery halved and sliced
1-2 tbsp vegan-aise or mayo - I like the grape seed oil variety, its good for you and it tastes good too...you can add a pinch of paprika and sugar if you want it to taste more like miracle whip with out all the bad fat and cholesterol
1-2 tsp sweet relish
1 clove crushed garlic
red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste

*Drain and rinse the chic peas, dry lightly with paper towel
*Crush chic peas - I do this in the tupperware that will house the final product. I use the bottom of a glass but you can use a mortar and pestle or a food processor but don't over do it, I like a little texture in this.
*Add vegan-aise or mayo and mix thoroughly. I err on the side of more mayo, I just like it that way.
*Add remaining ingredients and stir through.

You can eat this as a cold sandwich filling or chunky dip. I have used it in cold pasta salad too.

The first day I made this, I went to my friend Sara's and we made the Tuna Melt! They were delicious.

Get some nice bread, I used these cool little thin wheat buns.
Layer cheese and mock tuna salad on each side of the bread with any garnishes you like.
Place on a cookie sheet into a preheated oven and heat for a couple of minutes until the cheese melts and the mock tuna is warm and bread toasty.

When we made them we used:

Cheddar
Tomatoes
Small sweet peppers

And added all before we put them in a warm oven to heat through.

Sara had some micro greens too which we added when they were done heating.

If this seems too healthy, you can do what I did above on my second try and you can make mock grilled tuna melts.

Basically, I did the same thing except I warmed each side in a cast iron skillet with enough olive oil to coat the pan and they got crispy and delicious....

This was an interesting night, killer show which ended with 50 stolen manipulation records and me spitting on a trainhopper douche who thought it was cool to yell at a dog who was guarding his house. THAT IS WHAT DOGS DO YOU DUMB FUCK!!!
