CLASSIC TUNA MORNAY



Classic Tuna Mornay image

I wanted to make this recipe for old time sake. My mum used to make it often and for some reason I craved it last night for dinner. I found this in the Woman's Weekly, and served it with a side salad. I had never made it for the family before, but I think it may be on our menu a little more often now. I actaully used leftovers the next day for a picnic, I liked it cold and might add a few vegies next time for a tuna slice for a picnic. The pasta I used was Penne the original recipe suggests Tortiglioni. Tuna should be in brine or spring-water.

TUNA MAYO RICE BOWL



Tuna Mayo Rice Bowl image

This homey dish takes comforting canned tuna to richer, silkier heights. Mayonnaise helps to hold the tuna together and toasted sesame oil lends incomparable nuttiness. You can adjust the seasonings to your taste: Use as much or as little soy sauce as you'd like for a savory accent. You can lean into the nuttiness of this rice bowl by sowing the top with toasted sesame seeds, or amp up the savoriness with furikake or scallions. A staple of home cooking in Hawaii and South Korea (where it is sometimes called deopbap), this simple meal is a workday workhorse.
