Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 slices Sandwich bread (White or Whole Wheat)
Softened butter (Enough to butter both sides of each bread slice.)
4 tbsp Butter, unsalted (If using salted butter, omit additional salt. Other fat may be substituted, such as coconut oil, ghee, etc.)
1 small Yellow onion, diced
4 tbsp All-purpose flour
1 tsp Salt
2 cups Whole milk
2 cans Tuna
2 cups Vegetables (I used frozen peas and cooked diced carrots in my recipe video.)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set the lined baking sheet aside
  • Butter both sides of all your bread slices. Form each slice of bread into a "boat" by pinching the sides together and securing them with toothpicks. (See video.)
  • Place "boats" on the lined baking sheet, and bake in your 350°F preheated oven for 10 minutes until toasted and golden brown.
  • Open canned tuna, drain, and rinse well in a strainer. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2 minutes until translucent. Stir frequently. Stir in flour until well blended, and cook for 2 minutes but do not allow the mixture to brown. Add salt and stir well to incorporate. Gradually stir in the milk and bring the mixture up to a boil. Whisk the mixture until bubbling and thickened. Turn heat to low.
  • Add tuna and veggies to the mixture, and stir well until completely coated and warmed through.
  • Place a ladle full of your mixture into a bowl or onto a plate and place two "boats" on top of the mixture. Ladle additional mixture into each boat. Serve and enjoy!

CUCUMBER TUNA BOATS



Cucumber Tuna Boats image

For a refreshing summer meal, you can't beat this creamy tuna salad mounded into cucumber halves. Hard-cooked eggs make the salad extra hearty, and the crispness of the cucumber is delightful. It's an extra-special luncheon entree or light supper. -Mildred Stubbs, Hamlet, North Carolina
