Tuna Salad Supreme

I love seafood, when fresh and properly prepared.  Even in Boston, excellent seafood is sometimes hard to come by.  We usually head to Legal Seafood.  I've been eating a lot of scallops, and suddenly I feel like tuna.  Apparently tuna (sorry, Charlie) has become so pricey you can't even find it on a menu.  My new copy of Saveur arrives with hundreds of sandwich recipes, including one for homemade tuna salad.  Yum! 


I buy 12 oz. of tuna at $20 per pound, thinking that if I saw it on a menu it would set me back at least $26 a pop times 2 with wine and salads and maybe another side, and well, yanno, suddenly we are looking a more than a hundred bucks and the $17.00 worth of tuna seems like a huge bargain.   The recipes call for steaming, which I do, and then add chopped red onion, parsley, mayo, capers, lemon juice and salt and pepper.   Let chill.  Folks, I just took a bite and it's delicious. 


We got some good multigrain bread in case we decide to eat it in sandwiches.  I also have olives, little tomatoes, white asparagus, cucumber and orange pepper to serve on the plates, so we're going to eat our veggies, along, of course, with the lettuce.  This looks like a winner. 


Here is the recipe.  See for yourself. Homemade Tuna Salad from Scratch  


Tomorrow we're having something in the curry family called "Butter Chicken."  With a name like that, it just has to be good. 


If I can remember to, I'll photograph the plated dinner tonight to show you how colorful and delicious the tuna looks. 

So Colorful and Tempting- Just add good bread
