TUNA LOAF



Tuna Loaf image

I was looking for a tuna loaf recipe and found Carol Junkins 'Tuna Cakes~Flavors of Cape Cod.' I made few changes and additions, and on Carol's suggestion, here it is. Loaf will be on the dry side, since it's tuna and therefore, no fat, so you may want to serve with tartar sauce, a dill mayo, or any of your choice.

TUNA LOAF

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans chunk tuna, water packed
2 eggs
1 small onion, chopped
1 large celery, stalk, chopped
1 1/2 cups crackers, coarsely crushed saltine
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
2/3 cup water or 2/3 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon pepper

  • Uncover; bake for about 20 minutes more or until golden.
  • Serve with lemon, mushroom sauce,or a tarter sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ingredients: Use high-quality canned tuna, mayonnaise, celery, and other ingredients. Fresh herbs and spices can also enhance the flavor.
  • Balance the Ingredients: Make sure to use the right proportions of ingredients to achieve a cohesive and flavorful loaf. Don't overpower the tuna with too much mayonnaise or celery.
  • Don't Overmix: Mix the ingredients just until they are combined. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense loaf.
  • Chill Before Baking: Refrigerate the tuna loaf mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help it hold its shape and bake evenly.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the tuna loaf at the recommended temperature in the recipe. Too high a temperature can cause the loaf to dry out, while too low a temperature can prevent it from cooking through.
