Ingredients
  

  • 425 g/ 15 oz canned tuna in oil , drained (Note 1)
  • 3/4 cup whole egg mayonnaise or Kewpie Note 2
  • 3/4 cup finely diced celery 1 stalk, cut in 4 lengthways, then finely diced
  • 5 tbsp finely chopped dill pickle Note 3
  • 2 tbsp liquid from pickle jar Note 3
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped dill or parsley or basil
  • 1/3 cup finely sliced green onion , ~2 stems (Note 4)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 8 pieces butter lettuce 2 per sandwich
  • Salted butter , for spreading
  • 8 slices bread or 4 rolls Note 5

Method
 

  1. Filling - Put all the Tuna Filling ingredients in a bowl. Mix well using a wooden spoon, breaking up the tuna so the filling becomes fairly smooth. The pickles and celery will take a beating too which is encouraged -> flavour melding!
  2. Sandwich - Divide Tuna Filling between 4 sandwiches (or more/less depending on bread size). I butter the bread and use 2 pieces of lettuce per sandwich. Enjoy!
