KITCHEN: Tuna on Whole Wheat...my way! (5th in series)

Tuna mix on toasted whole wheat*

A different version of a tuna sandwich...

 Sometimes it only takes a very few ingredients to make something really tasty...as in this case.  Canned tuna...your choice and style...I use water packed, not oil.

Add some of these flakes to chicken or beef broth

This is my particularly favorite brand of nutritional yeast flakes--I use them in many recipes--the flavor is somewhat nutty.  A glance at the nutritional breakdown reveals it's "primary grown" (on molasses) yeast.  This is not a by-product of brewing as is "brewers yeast", which can have a bitter aftertaste.  It is high in B vitamins and has a full spectrum of amino acids.    KAL Nutritional Yeast Flakes  

Three rounded Tablespoons equal a full serving, but in this recipe I use only

• two rounded Tablespoons to one can of tuna.

• Add to that one teaspoon of liquid smoke.  

Colgin Liquid Smoke 

• mesquite
• hickory
• apple
• pecan 

If I add salt--and I often do--I like to use this salt blend--Vege-Sal which has a celery flavor.     Pepper to taste.

*That is a leaf of savoy cabbage (on the plate above) and 5 medium Sprouts Olives, and a few cheddar cheese curds from Arizona Cheese Company    

• Tuna, one can  partially drained--yeast will absorb moisture.
• KAL Nutritional Yeast Flakes, 2 TB
• Colgin Liquid Smoke, 1 tsp
• Vege-Sal, (optional--to taste)
• Pepper, (optional--to taste)
• mix well 
• best served at room temperature on toasted bread of your choice. 
• Of course, this also works spectacularly well with canned salmon, chicken, or leftover turkey.  With those, I like to warm the mixture a little in the microwave and have melted a slice of cheese on it a time or two.
• A good choice for "survival" food with crackers...since none of the ingredients need refrigeration, like mayo or a creamy dressing would. The B vitamins in the yeast will be very beneficial under stressful conditions.
