TUNA CRUNCH SANDWICHES



Tuna Crunch Sandwiches image

A tuna salad and potato chip sandwich may not be quite as classic a pairing as peanut butter and jelly, but it is, anecdotally, many middle-schoolers' first forays into experimenting with flavors and textures, and no less delicious. Beyond crunch, chips also add stability to the sandwich, holding the tuna salad in place as you eat. There's no wrong way to make the sandwich, but seasoning tuna salad with red onion and celery, plenty of olive oil and little lemon juice, and using kettle-style salt and vinegar potato chips are especially alluring. There's the word "optional" next to the most optional ingredients, but consider every ingredient other than the tuna, bread and chips to be adaptable according to your own taste (or how your mom made it).

Categories     dinner, for two, lunch, quick, weeknight, sandwiches, main course

Time 5m

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (5-ounce) can solid white albacore or skipjack tuna (see Tip)
1 hard-boiled egg, peeled
1 celery rib, finely minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (see Tip)
2 tablespoons finely minced red onion, shallot or scallions
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley, chives, tarragon or a mix (optional)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, plus more for spreading (see Tip)
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish or chopped dill pickles (optional)
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
A few large handfuls of hearty potato chips or corn chips (see Tip)
Salt and black pepper
4 slices thick, soft sandwich bread, such as Texas toast, toasted, if desired
2 lettuce leaves, such as iceberg, romaine, green leaf or Bibb

Steps:

  • Open the can of tuna, leaving the lid in place after opening it. Invert the whole can over the sink and press the lid into the tuna firmly to squeeze out as much excess water or oil as you can. (Be careful not to cut your fingers on any sharp edges). Transfer the tuna to a medium bowl.
  • Wash your hands well, then grab the boiled egg and squeeze it through your fingers into the bowl with the tuna. Add the celery, olive oil, onion, herbs (if using), mayonnaise, relish (if using) and lemon juice. Using a fork, gently fold together all the ingredients, trying to leave the tuna in relatively large chunks. Grab a few chips and, using your hands, crumble them into the bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and fold again to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste - more salt, pepper and lemon juice if it tastes bland, and more olive oil or mayonnaise if it tastes dry.
  • When ready for lunch, spread each slice of bread generously with mayonnaise. Place lettuce on each bottom slice of bread, then top each with half of the tuna salad mixture. Add a generous handful of potato chips on top of each (more than seems reasonable), then close the sandwiches. Press down firmly so the chips break and embed themselves into the tuna salad and the bread. Cut into triangles and serve with extra chips on the side.

ITALIAN-STYLE TUNA SANDWICH



Italian-Style Tuna Sandwich image

Though an American cook (or even a French one) usually adds mayonnaise to the bowl when dressing canned tuna for a sandwich, Italian cooks invariably anoint theirs with olive oil instead. Capers, olives and anchovy often join the festivities; here they are combined with garlic and parsley to make a zesty salsa verde. Choose the best quality Italian or Spanish canned tuna-the extra cost is well worth it. The other essential ingredient is freshly baked bread, like a good crisp baguette or crusty ciabatta roll.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, sandwiches, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup Italian parsley leaves, washed and dried
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup roughly chopped green olives, such as Castelvetrano
3 or 4 anchovy fillets, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped capers
Zest of 1 lemon
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Salt and pepper
1 baguette or 4 ciabatta rolls
Handful of lettuce leaves, arugula or watercress
8 ounces best quality oil packed tuna, drained, in large chunks
4 hard-boiled eggs
Salt and pepper
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced, optional

Steps:

  • Make the salsa verde: Whiz parsley leaves and 1/2 cup oil in a food processor or blender to a pesto-like consistency, then transfer to a small bowl. (Alternatively, chop parsley by hand and combine with oil.) Add garlic, chopped olives, anchovies, capers, lemon zest and red pepper to parsley mixture and stir well. Season with salt if necessary and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Thin with more oil as desired.
  • Cut baguette crosswise into 4 equal pieces, then split each lengthwise with a serrated knife. (If using rolls, split each lengthwise.) For each sandwich, lay bread flat, crust side down. Spread cut sides with 2 tablespoons salsa verde. Put a few lettuce leaves on 1 piece of bread and arrange 2 ounces of tuna over lettuce. Top tuna with 1 egg, quartered. Season egg lightly with salt and pepper. Add sliced serrano chile, if using. Drizzle with a little more salsa verde, then press sandwich closed.

SPICY TUNA FISH SANDWICH
