Italian Tuna Cole Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. It is no secret that my favorite tuna is Wild Planet... Not just because they are sustainably fished, but it tastes so dang good. If you can get it, I would suggest you give it a try. Regardless of your choice, make sure it is water packed. https://www.wildplanetfoods.com
• 3. The coleslaw I am using is a typical variety, much like a Kentucky coleslaw. Here is the recipe that I used: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/andy-s-amazing-coleslaw.html?r=3
• 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 5. Drain the tuna, add to a bowl with the other sandwich ingredients, and lightly toss, until just combined.
• 6. Chef's Note: If you substitute white pepper, for the black, you will get more of a "sweet" heat. In addition, if you add a dash or two Frank's hot sauce, you will give it a bit of a savory kick that goes quite well with the coleslaw.
• 7. Divide the tuna, and add half each to the bottom of two toasted buns.
• 8. Chef's Tip: I added some butter lettuce leaves to the toasted buns for two reasons: First, I like butter lettuce. Second, it insulates the bun from the tuna, and helps keep it from getting soggy.
• 9. If you want to kick it up, add two thinly-sliced tomatoes, top with a piece of provolone, and stick under a broiler, for about 30 seconds. Mmmmmm.
• 10. Chef's Tip: If you are using the tomatoes, sprinkle a bit of salt, and black pepper on them before adding the provolone. Tomatoes just beg for salt and black pepper.
• 11. PLATE/PRESENT
• 12. Serve with chips or fries, a nice pickle (sweet or dill), and maybe a few tall cold ones. Enjoy.
• 13. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Steps:

• Combine red cabbage, parsley and capers in large bowl.
• Whisk oil, vinegar, 2 tablespoons water and garlic in small bowl to blend. Add to cabbage mixture and toss to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared up to 3 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in a bowl with a snap-lid.
• I use 2 big handfulls of the slaw mix- but that isn't an"approved" measurement.
• Shake well to mix.
• Keep refrigerated til ready to eat.
• Can add cheese, olives, tomatoes as desired.

Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice, capers and Dijon mustard in a large bowl. While continuing to whisk, drizzle in the olive oil in a steady stream. Whisk in 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the beans to the dressing and mash gently with a spoon. Add the tuna, flaking it with a fork into bite-size pieces. Toss lightly to coat. Top the tuna mixture with the arugula, treviso, endive, shaved fennel, parsley leaves and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using your hands, toss the salad together, bringing the dressing up from the bottom of the bowl until everything is coated evenly.

Steps:

• In large bowl alternate layers of shredded cabbage and onion.
• Top with 7/8 cup sugar.
• In medium sauce pan bring all remaining ingredients just to boil, stirring.
• Remove from heat and while still hot pour over cabbage and onions.
• Cover and let stand for 4-6 hours before serving.

Steps:

• In a bowl, add the tuna, cabbage, pineapple, and dressing. Stir to mix evenly.
• Top each tortilla with one-fourth of the mixture. Fold both sides of tortilla up over the filling and roll to close.
