Tuna Melt
This one is for my friend Richard who as it turns out doesn't like tuna !!
Anyway this is a really filling, quick, tasty and cheap - winner.
First of all get your tuna ready. Empty a can of tuna in a small bowl, add salt and pepper and throw in a very heaped table spoon of mayonnaise. Mix it all up with a fork and you're done.
Optionally you can add chopped onions and sweetcorn, this is the time to throw that in too. Mix well.
Lightly toast some pitta bread in a toaster or under a grill.
Fork the tuna mixture onto the pitta bread. I normally portion a small ( 160g ) can to a large pitta or half the can for a small pitta so it's fairly thick layering.
If you are accompanying with something else like vegetables or making it for the kids just use a thinner layer of tuna.
Grill it for 10 minutes at 200 degrees or until brown. remember you are not trying to cook the tuna here, you're just heating it through.
Now add a layer of cheese, i like strong cheddar but any will do.
A sprinkle of mixed heabs won't do any harm and then grill it again for 10-12 minutes at 200 degrees or until the cheese is nice and golden.
That's it - its going to be piping hot inside so let it cool for 10 minutes before tucking in.
