I’d been reading tweets this afternoon about food. One person I follow posted links to several recipes for casseroles and I sure got hungry. Unfortunately, all of the recipes called for pasta or flour so it was time to start experimenting.
I decided that I’d make a tuna with veges in a sauce to go over cooked potatoes. I started with canned tuna in olive oil, draining the oil into my saucepan. I then sautéed some onion in the oil. I wasn’t sure of what to use to thicken the sauce so decided to try using almond meal. I added the almond meal and it seemed to work well.
I added some milk and mixed as I would have using flour but the sauce didn’t really thicken. It didn’t do anything bad but wasn’t that great. I then added the tuna and mixed it up, again it wasn’t really thickening but it tasted good.
I had bought cheese at the farmers market, a cheddar cheese and a smoked cheddar cheese. I cut chunks off each and then started shredding the cheese into the sauce. After the cheese was added I started to stir and one of the cheeses immediately started separating into little lumps leaving the sauce looking like water. I added the veges and then served it forth.
Dale and I spooned the watery sauce over cooked potatoes that we mashed up on our plates. Fortunately, the sauce stuff was absorbed into the potatoes so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. At least it tasted good.
Not one of the better meals but then again that happens sometimes when experimenting.
