Tuna-style sub

Ingredients

Tuna salad

• 2 × 145 g tins tuna in oil, drained well
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish (or chopped gherkins)
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Salt and pepper
• 80 g tinned sweetcorn, drained

Sub

• 1 footlong Italian bread
• Shredded lettuce
• Cucumber, sliced
• Tomato, sliced
• ½ red onion, thinly sliced

Method

1. Tuna salad. Mix drained tuna, mayo, relish, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Fold in sweetcorn.
2. Toast (optional). Toast bread cut-side down for 2 minutes.
3. Layer. Pile tuna salad onto bread. Top with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, red onion.
4. Close + slice. Cut in half. Serve.

Tips

• Drain the tuna thoroughly. Press it in a sieve for 2 minutes. Wet tuna = soggy sub.
• Mix the mayo with the tuna in a bowl first. Don’t add it straight to the can — you won’t get an even mix.
• Sweetcorn is non-negotiable. Adds sweetness and texture that make this sub.
