Twisted Tuna Fish Sandwich

Madeline's Mommy's Note:

I have been trying for a few months now to make a recipe as close to what my mother made. This taste just like it. It's not overly sweet, or fishy tasting. I do not like sea food but I could eat this sandwich everyday.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 2 (12 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained. I use bumble bee brand
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1/2 tablespoon mustard
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons sweet relish, cubed
• 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and smashed
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper (you can use black, no need to go out and buy white if you have the black)
• 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Miracle Whip
• bread, of your choice

Directions:

1. While the eggs are boiling, mix drained tuna with mayonaise, mustard, lemon juice, relish, salt, pepper and paprika. Fold peeled and smashed eggs into tuna mixture. Place in refridgerator for 30 minutes for flavors to come together. When ready to serve, spread a little of the miracle whip on the bread and toast. Top toasted bread with tuna and serve with lays plain potato chips.

I did think this was a little on the sweet side. It also seemed just a little dry for our tastes, but that could be because the tuna I use (Polar) is drier than BumbleBee. I didn't use the Miracle Whip because I didn't have any. Next time I will increase the amount of paprika and reduce the relish slightly. Thanks for posting! Made for Spring 2010 PAC.

Yum! Classic comfort food. I liked the addition of the mustard and white pepper in this. Thanks Madeline's Mommy for a nice lunch. Made for PAC Spring 2010.

With both mustard & mayo this was different than the standard tuna salad. I liked the addition of the tang of the lemon, but the hightlight for me was the smoked paprika. I thought the smoky note in the background made a pleasant change & I will definitely pair it with tuna again. I served in whole wheat pita pockets loaded with frisee, sliced tomato, and purple onion so skipped the miracle whip on the bread step. Made for Spring 2010 Pick A Chef.
