Got this recipe from a good friend who got it from her Mother in law. She served it at a brunch for our sewing group and it made such a hit that everyone asked for a copy of the recipe. Made a very nice brunch type salad/ entree served over a bed of mixed baby greens.

Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 can(s) albacore tuna, 6 oz drained and flaked
1-2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 c stuffed green olives, sliced
1/2 c cucumber, deseeded and finely chopped
2-3 Tbsp capers, chopped
3/4 c celery, finely chopped

1 c mayonnaise
1 c miracle whip

Steps:

  • 1. Soften gelatin in 1/4c. cold water in a small heatproof bowl for about 10 minutes. Once completely softened, melt the gelatin in the bowl over hot water until liquid. (you can just place the bowl with the gelatin in it into a small pan of simmering water on the stovetop to melt)
  • 2. While softening the gelatin, squeeze lemon juice over flaked tuna in a medium/large non reactive bowl. Add olives, cucumber, capers, celery and onion. Set aside without stirring.
  • 3. Mix mayo and Miracle Whip together and add melted gelatin, stirring together well. Add to larger bowl with tuna mixture and fold in well, avoiding mushing up the tuna as much as possible.
  • 4. Pour into individual ramekins or a 3-4 cup mold and refrigerate until set. Serve cold over mixed lettuce salad greens, with a fresh lemon wedge or in the ramekins with a parsley and lemon garnish.

TUNA RING WITH CHEESE SAUCE



Tuna Ring With Cheese Sauce image

This is from my mother's Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library from the 70's. I've been enjoying it for 3 decades! It's so delicious, and not as hard as the recipe is lengthy. It makes even a novice cook look pretty darn impressive!

Categories     Tuna

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 egg
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup dried parsley
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups Bisquick
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup Bisquick
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Filling: Beat egg slightly; set aside 2 T egg.
  • Stir tuna, onion, cheese, parsley, celery salt, and pepper into remaining egg.
  • (You can do this part ahead and keep in refrigerator until ready to use.) Dough: Stir baking mix& water to a soft dough.
  • Knead 5 times on a floured cloth covered board.
  • (I just do this on a floured surface.) Roll out into a rectangle.
  • Spread with filling.
  • Roll up to make a long roll.
  • Place sealed edge down on greased baking sheet.
  • (I make a circle or a half-circle.) With scissors, make cuts 2/3 deep at 1"-2" intervals.
  • (I slightly turn each piece to show filling.) Brush top with reserved egg.
  • Bake at 375F for 25-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make cheese sauce.
  • Cheese Sauce: Melt butter over low heat.
  • Blend in baking mix, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook over low heat, stirring, until smooth and bubbly.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in milk.
  • Heat to boiling, stirring constantly.
  • Boil and stir one minute.
  • Stir in cheese until melted.
  • (I rarely bring this to a boil. I just make sure it's nice and hot, bringing the heat up slowly. Maybe it's my own quirk, but I don't scorch the milk that way. I slice the tuna ring and serve the slices and pass the cheese sauce. This is so yummy!).

TUNA MOUSSE WITH CRACKERS



Tuna Mousse with Crackers image

Lovey, creamy, tomatoey, mousse with a perfect salmon-pink appearance. Looks really fancy for guests if set in a fish-shaped mould and once unmoulded, garnished with a few prawns and lemon slices. Keeps for at least 3 days in the refrigerator. Preparation time does not include chilling/setting time.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor or blender to make the mousse. This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Season the mousse to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Serve the mousse immediately or chill it for later.
