Рецепт Tuna Mushroom Melt
Sunday, August 4, 2013
Years ago, my uncle used to eat a version of this sandwich. It actually was a weight watcher’s recipe back then, not sure if it would be today. Today when I realized I hadn’t taken anything out the freezer and was puzzling over what to make when I saw some mushrooms in my refrigerator I needed to use up. I had one of those light bulb moments that it was time to update this great supper sandwich. Instead of canned mushrooms, I used fresh mushrooms with slices of onion that started to caramelize and some fresh basil. I made an easy tuna salad with relish and olive oil mayonnaise and then added toast and swiss cheese. Yummy!
This is a very flexible recipe, add more or less mushrooms, onions or add garlic if you are in the mood.
