HEATED RIVALRY TUNA MELT

from 5 Minute Food Fix

There's a cult TV show that half the world knows about and is OBSESSED by, and the other half has no idea whatsoever. That show is Heated Rivalry and Yumi counts herself as completely, 100% indoctrinated into the cult of Shane and Ilya. In today's episode, Yumi discovers that Simon has actually watched it as well !! and nearly implodes in delight. She also has a TUNA MELT recipe (IYKYK) that looks a lot like this one, with a few variations. TUNA SALAD FOR TUNA MELT 1 well-drained 425g tin tuna 2 celery sticks, diced freshly chopped parsley, 1/4 cup 3 gherkin pickles, finely chopped, or 10 cornichons 1/2 cup of good mayonnaise, to taste (add more or less depending on how you like it) salt, pepper, chilli flakes METHOD Assemble and mix the tuna salad. (This can be made ahead until your "boring" hot boyfriend comes over.) Turn on the grill or sandwich press. Spoon it out onto good quality sourdough bread. Top with 2 slices of American cheese or grated tasty. Pop under the grill until melted. Top with another piece of bread, press it down, then return the whole thing to the grill until toasted. Flip to toast the other side. Serve immediately. With ginger ale.
