Grams' cream tuna on toast.
-
1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup flour,
2 cups milk,
-
2 cans drained tuna,
-
salt and pepper,
-
bread to toast.
-
Hey, guys.
-
This is Sal, from
"You Gotta Eat."
-
I'm going to make
one of my favorite dishes,
-
that my grandmother,
Theresa, used to make.
-
Creamed tuna on toast.
-
So, let's start this recipe.
-
We gotta make a roux.
-
First thing we're going to do is,
-
quarter stick of butter...
-
Actually it's a HALF stick of butter.
-
Drop these in there.
-
Let them melt down.
-
A little bit at a time,
so your roux doesn't clump.
-
Now we're going to
whisk in the flour.
-
If it ever decides
to come out of the cup.
-
Alright. We're
whisking that in.
-
[Woman] Whisking a little?
You dumped the whole thing in.
-
[Woman laughs.]
-
Alright. You can do that, too.
-
[Music.]
-
[Woman] When you're making
a roux,
-
and you're incorporating liquid in,
-
you want to make sure
-
that the liquid doesn't clump up.
-
So, Sal is going to start pouring in
-
the next ingredient.
-
Which is...
-
[Sal] milk!
-
"Does a body good."
-
Alright. A little at a time.
-
I remember my grandmother
making this for me,
-
when I was younger.
-
She actually showed me how
to make it, one time.
-
But, this is one of my
favorite dishes, that she made.
-
It is also an inexpensive
dish to make.
-
Alright.
-
At this point, you can start
adding salt and pepper to taste.
-
Do it to your liking.
-
I am not a big salt guy, but
-
we can add it as we go.
-
And a little pepper.
-
[Pepper mill grinds.]
-
Alright. Now, at this point,
-
I already have my toast
in the toaster,
-
so I'm just going to
drop it down.
-
Get that going.
-
Turn my heat up a little bit.
-
Now I'm adding
my tuna fish.
-
You can also substitute
-
canned chicken,
-
canned salmon,
-
or fresh lump crab meat.
-
Now, we just
watch it thicken.
-
[Woman] I'm sure you've got
-
someone there who is interested
-
in any droppings, that might
come her way.
-
Right, Zee?
-
You can see it
getting thicker, already.
-
This is something that
is good for a cold winter day,
-
or a rainy day.
-
Alright, so. We waited a few minutes.
-
I took a fork, because
i wanted to break up, a little bit,
-
more of the bigger pieces
of the tuna fish.
-
It's really starting to
thicken up, now.
-
Toast is done.
-
So, I'm going to
shut this off, now.
-
Alright?
-
Take it off the heat
for a second.
-
Grab my toast.
-
[Toast clatters
against the plate.]
-
Alright.
-
You want to make sure,
-
before you put it
on your toast,
-
that you put enough
salt and pepper in it,
-
that it is seasoned good.
-
Alright.
It's delicious. Alright.
-
Now, I'm going to
-
pour it right over
the toast.
-
[Music.]
-
Alright? Beautiful.
-
There you have it.
-
[Spoon scrapes pan.]
-
Grandma Theresa's
-
creamed tuna on toast.
-
I almost forgot to wish
-

-
a happy Mother's Day,
-
including my own.
-
Judy.
-
Happy Mother's Day.
-
And, to my beautiful
and loving wife, Kelly.
