This blog is set up primarily for me to store recipes that I love and to help me track tweaks and improvements. Will be aimed to be low carb (but not exclusively) and as little processed food as possible. Currently I'm trying to take some of the processed food we like and remake it naturally.

Tuna sandwich filler
We're on a health kick at the moment to reduce the amount of crap we eat - ie weird preservatives, added sugar etc. So we're starting to make more things ourselves rather than buying ready made stuff.
Ingredients
2 tins of tuna
6-8 pickled gerkins
half a white onion
salt to season
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
Blend until smooth - season to taste. You could add mayonnaise instead of the vinegar but this is a healthier option.
Not the prettiest food in the world but pretty tasty.

Variation 1:
ReplyDelete1 tin of tuna
3-4 gherkins
1 onion
4 cherry tomatoes
handful of spinach
1 tablespoon of capers
1 tablespoon of light mayonnaise
add sliced cucumber/tomato to give a bit of bulk
Variation 2:
ReplyDelete1 tin of tuna
3-4 gherkins
1 onion
2 large tomatoes
1 tablespoon of capers
2 tablespoons of light mayonnaise
This is great but very watery due to tomatoes. So fry it off (no oil just straight in pan). Cook it down to the consistency you want and this is really really good (not as healthy due to cooking it though!)
Definitely nicer than any shop bought sandwich filler that I've tried. Vary the amounts to suit your taste though.
