Tuna fish

I know it's rather strange to have a recipe on a blog page, but it is the easiest way to share it with lots of friends.  Pamela loves tuna fish sandwiches.  She says that I make great tuna fish, but, being a vegetarian, I've never tasted it.  I'm sharing it for two reasons - I can get feedback and if it's as good as Pamela seems to think, you might like it too. We do like things spicy.

TUNA FISH for a sandwich

Ingredients: 

1 can (1.5oz) of top quality white albacore tuna packed in water.  drain.
2 Tablespoons celery finely chopped.  (this is one small stock about 5-6 inches long)
2-3 Tablespoon red onion finely chopped.  (this is about a 1/2" slice from the middle of a medium sized red onion.)
a pinch of dry parsley
1/3 cup of mayonnaise  (I use real mayo w/ olive oil)
1 Tablespoon spicy mustard  (I use creole mustard but any nice tangy, spicy mustard should do.)
1/4 - 1/2 Teaspoon capers  (Pamela likes thinks salty)
few cranks of freshly ground black pepper.  (to taste)
a splash of lemon juice  (optional, to taste)
8-10 black olives finely chopped

Directions:

Put drained tuna in a small mixing bowl and break it up. Add celery, onion, olives, parsley, and capers and mix.

Once mixed add mayo and mustard and mix them in.

When well mixed add the black pepper and lemon juice individually so you can taste what you're doing.

Serving:

I like to use a good wheat or multi-grain bread. Sometimes I toast it.
As you can see I'm rather generous.  For this reason I get 3-4 sandwiches from this recipe. I also spread a bit of mayo & spicy mustard on the bread to give the sandwich a bit more kick.

Hope you like it.  Let me know what you think.
