Tuna Boats
Janelle Aguda of Chicago, Illinois gets her son involved in this sea-cruising cuisine by having him assemble the simple sails out of cheese slices. They like to serve the “boats” on blue paper plates with fish-shaped crackers.
4 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
Ingredients
2 cans (6 ounces
each
) tuna, drained and flaked
1 hard-cooked egg, chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1/2 cup Miracle Whip
1 teaspoon sweet pickle relish
4 submarine sandwich
or
hoagie buns
4 lettuce leaves
4 slices cheddar cheese
8 wooden skewers
Fish-shaped crackers
Directions
In a bowl, combine the tuna, egg, celery and onion. Stir in the
Miracle Whip and pickle relish; set aside. Make a 2-in. wide
V-shaped cut in the center of each bun to within an inch of the
bottom. Remove cut portion and save for another use. Line each bun
with a lettuce leaf and fill with tuna mixture.
Cut cheese slices in half diagonally. For sails, carefully insert a
wooden skewer into the top center of each cheese triangle. Bend
cheese slightly; push skewer through bottom center of cheese. Insert
two skewers into each sandwich. Place on a serving plate. Sprinkle
fish crackers around boats. Yield: 4 servings.
