Don't let the picture scare you. We did not eat Charlie Tuna! We were fishsitting for Anthony and I had the bright idea that it would spiff up the pictures to have the goldfish bowl add a little life to the photo. I promise you I did not make the connection between Anthony's fish and these wonderful tuna melts (recipe courtesy of Emeril from http://www.delish.com/). The tomato soup is found elsewhere in the blog. I made it last summer with our garden tomatoes and froze a bunch of batches. The meal was as scrumptious as it was easy!
Ingredients:
4 cans (5 oz.) solid white tuna packed in water (drained)
1/3 c. mayonnaise (I used light)1/4 c. finely chopped red onion
4 teaspoons capers (rinsed and drained)
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (crumbled between your fingers)
4 slices crusty bread
8 slices thin tomato
4 slices provolone (or any milk melting cheese, like cheddar or Monterey Jack)
Heat broiler, with rack in highest position. In a medium bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, onion, capers, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oragano and stir until thoroughly combined.
Well, I'm definitely behind the times! I haven't had as much time to check our blog since I've been so busy taking care of my two little guys. I first saw the recipe for these tuna melts in a Martha Stewart Everyday Food magazine. I've wanted to try them for awhile now...I just haven't gotten around to it. They look (and sound) so tasty! I'm glad you didn't eat the goldfish. :)
