Easy lunch option

Ingredients

1 Diced onion

3 clove Garlic, diced

1 6 oz Can tuna, drained

2 tbsp Olive oil

Dill to taste

Spicy mustard to taste

2 slices Bread

1 Slice cheese

Preparation

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan, then add onions and garlic. Saute until translucent.


2. In a separate bowl, mix the onions and garlic with the tuna. Add spicy mustard (instead of mayo) until mixture is a spreadable consistency. Add the dill, and mix in well.


3. Spread on a piece of bread, top with slice (or slices) of cheese, and another slice of bread. Toast it lightly in the saute pan, turning once. Serve warm.


4. Cook's Notes: For a healthy choice, use tuna packed in water. This is really good with soup - try a cream of potato, with some extra crushed garlic, and a little bit of dill.

Very very tasty and fast and easy to make. I used red onion diced very finely, dark rye bread, and provolone cheese. A cut above your average tuna melt.
