One of my favourite subjects when I was going to school was Home Economics, and no surprise, the cooking section of the year was my favourite section! One year in the class we made these fabulously tasty Tuna Pizza Burgers. I fell in love with them and have been making them ever since! My children also loved them! They are the perfect snack to bake for the kids when they fly through the door at the end of the school day "starving to death!"
This month's Degusta Box was themed the "Back To School" box and once I saw the ingredients, I immediately knew what I wanted to make. My favourite Back to School Tuna Pizza Burgers!
Every month I am the happy recipient of a Degustabox. I love these boxes. Opening each one is a bit like opening a Christmas box. Always a surprise and always filled with things I want to try. Degustabox is a monthly foodie subscription service that sends out a range of specially selected foodie products. There's always a great mix of new products that I haven't tried before, as well as plenty of treats from more established brands. Quite often you will have the opportunity to try new products before they arrive in the shops, so it can be a bit of a sneak peak! Each Degustabox costs £12.99, delivery costs are included in the price, and there is no fixed contract involved - you can cancel at any time. I love getting these boxes!!
Before we get to the recipe a little bit about what was in the August Box.

Seabrook is the original crinkle cut
crisp. The variety pack brings together the three most popular Seabrook
flavours - Sea Salted, Sea Salt & Vinegar and Cheese & Onion.
Everyone has their favourite Seabrook flavour.... What's yours? Personally I like all the flavours, but I am afraid I am a bit boring in saying that sea salted ticks all my boxes all the time.

The Fruitypot family of brands is a

generation, available in Strawberry, Orange and Apple and Blackcurrant
flavours. A fun squeezy jelly in a pouch, JellySqueeze is refreshing and
re-sealable making it ideal to eat on the go or pop in a packed lunch.
Gluten
and lactose free, suitable for vegans and vegetarians and schools

JellySqueeze can be stored in the cupboard although we recommend that
it's best enjoyed straight from the fridge. I received both the Orange and the Apple & Black Currant.

HELLMANN'S REAL MAYONNAISE 1 X £1.69
Over 100 years ago Richard Hellmann created Hellmann's in a deli in New York. He marked his best products by tying a blue ribbon around them. This blue ribbon is still found on the label and signifies our ongoing commitment to great quality products. For a long, long time, we've been committed to sustainable farming, responsible business, and doing right by the people who help us make Hellmann's. Not just because we think it makes our products better, but also because it's the right thing to do. It's why we only use 100% free-range eggs and source 100% of our oils responsibly in our mayonnaise. Our Real Mayonnaise is also a good natural source of Omega 3!
Happy to say that this has always been my mayonnaise of choice. Next to homemade, its quite simply the best in my opinion and the product I chose to highlight this month with a tasty recipe!
This is a very retro type of recipe and something which you might have seen at teen-parties and get togethers when I was in my teens, and no small wonder! It is perfectly portable and delicious!
The base is quite simply plain English Muffins, split into two, and spread with some plain tomato puree, or paste as it is called in North America. This is topped with a flavourful tuna filling, cheese and some sliced green olives. If you like Tuna and Pizza, you are simply going to LOVE these!
*Tuna Pizza Burgers*
Makes 6
3 TBS finely grated Parmesan cheese
55g good quality mayonnaise (1/4 cup)

Note - Although I was sent a box free of charge any and all opinions are my own.
VERY fun with that back-to-school box, Marie--YUM!! I've not tried the green Tabasco before, mostly I think because most shops only have the red chili kind. Your Tuna Pizza Burgers look sooo good! I want to try these for an easy Fish Friday meal. We can't get English Muffins in shops here. But I'm thinking bagels could work--can get those at least. Interesting the different "bread" traditions the world over! :) ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteIts very mild Tracy, the green tabasco. I really like it. These Tuna Pizza Burgers are fabulous! Hope you give them a go and I think bagels would work very well! xo
