00:00:00.498 --> 00:00:05.482
[Upbeat music.]

00:00:05.482 --> 00:00:12.264
Grams' cream tuna on toast.

00:00:12.264 --> 00:00:14.698
1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup flour,
2 cups milk,

00:00:14.698 --> 00:00:16.327
2 cans drained tuna,

00:00:16.327 --> 00:00:17.540
salt and pepper,

00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:18.976
bread to toast.

00:00:18.976 --> 00:00:19.837
Hey, guys.

00:00:19.837 --> 00:00:21.533
This is Sal, from
"You Gotta Eat."

00:00:21.533 --> 00:00:23.670
I'm going to make
one of my favorite dishes,

00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:25.676
that my grandmother,
Theresa, used to make.

00:00:25.676 --> 00:00:27.067
Creamed tuna on toast.

00:00:27.067 --> 00:00:28.401
So, let's start this recipe.

00:00:28.401 --> 00:00:30.053
We gotta make a roux.

00:00:30.053 --> 00:00:31.731
First thing we're going to do is,

00:00:31.731 --> 00:00:34.317
quarter stick of butter...

00:00:34.317 --> 00:00:37.634
Actually it's a HALF stick of butter.

00:00:37.634 --> 00:00:39.816
Drop these in there.

00:00:39.816 --> 00:00:41.535
Let them melt down.

00:00:41.535 --> 00:00:44.532
A little bit at a time,
so your roux doesn't clump.

00:00:44.532 --> 00:00:47.106
Now we're going to
whisk in the flour.

00:00:47.106 --> 00:00:50.751
If it ever decides
to come out of the cup.

00:00:50.751 --> 00:00:54.686
Alright. We're 
whisking that in.

00:00:54.686 --> 00:00:59.992
[Woman] Whisking a little?
You dumped the whole thing in.

00:00:59.992 --> 00:01:01.751
[Woman laughs.]

00:01:01.751 --> 00:01:03.612
Alright. You can do that, too.

00:01:03.612 --> 00:01:06.034
[Music.]

00:01:06.034 --> 00:01:08.697
[Woman] When you're making
a roux,

00:01:08.697 --> 00:01:10.866
and you're incorporating liquid in,

00:01:10.866 --> 00:01:12.525
you want to make sure

00:01:12.525 --> 00:01:15.616
that the liquid doesn't clump up.

00:01:15.616 --> 00:01:18.267
So, Sal is going to start pouring in

00:01:18.267 --> 00:01:20.050
the next ingredient.

00:01:20.050 --> 00:01:21.217
Which is...

00:01:21.217 --> 00:01:22.466
[Sal] milk!

00:01:22.466 --> 00:01:24.031
"Does a body good."

00:01:24.031 --> 00:01:25.984
Alright. A little at a time.

00:01:25.984 --> 00:01:28.261
I remember my grandmother
making this for me,

00:01:28.261 --> 00:01:30.097
when I was younger.

00:01:30.097 --> 00:01:32.532
She actually showed me how
to make it, one time.

00:01:32.532 --> 00:01:35.517
But, this is one of my
favorite dishes, that she made.

00:01:35.517 --> 00:01:37.848
It is also an inexpensive
dish to make.

00:01:37.848 --> 00:01:38.865
Alright.

00:01:38.865 --> 00:01:42.133
At this point, you can start
adding salt and pepper to taste.

00:01:42.133 --> 00:01:43.966
Do it to your liking.

00:01:43.966 --> 00:01:46.897
I am not a big salt guy, but

00:01:46.897 --> 00:01:50.282
we can add it as we go.

00:01:50.282 --> 00:01:52.509
And a little pepper.

00:01:52.509 --> 00:01:54.184
[Pepper mill grinds.]

00:01:54.189 --> 00:01:56.865
Alright. Now, at this point,

00:01:56.865 --> 00:01:59.534
I already have my toast
in the toaster,

00:01:59.534 --> 00:02:02.150
so I'm just going to
drop it down.

00:02:02.150 --> 00:02:04.350
Get that going.

00:02:04.350 --> 00:02:06.986
Turn my heat up a little bit.

00:02:06.986 --> 00:02:09.761
Now I'm adding 
my tuna fish.

00:02:09.761 --> 00:02:11.516
You can also substitute

00:02:11.516 --> 00:02:12.699
canned chicken,

00:02:12.699 --> 00:02:13.916
canned salmon,

00:02:13.916 --> 00:02:15.779
or fresh lump crab meat.

00:02:15.779 --> 00:02:18.501
Now, we just 
watch it thicken.

00:02:18.501 --> 00:02:20.999
[Woman] I'm sure you've got

00:02:20.999 --> 00:02:23.022
someone there who is interested

00:02:23.022 --> 00:02:25.508
in any droppings, that might
come her way.

00:02:25.508 --> 00:02:26.847
Right, Zee?

00:02:27.721 --> 00:02:30.285
You can see it
getting thicker, already.

00:02:30.285 --> 00:02:34.651
This is something that
is good for a cold winter day,

00:02:34.651 --> 00:02:37.451
or a rainy day.

00:02:37.451 --> 00:02:40.418
Alright, so. We waited a few minutes.

00:02:40.418 --> 00:02:43.496
I took a fork, because 
i wanted to break up, a little bit,

00:02:43.496 --> 00:02:47.433
more of the bigger pieces
of the tuna fish.

00:02:48.723 --> 00:02:51.507
It's really starting to
thicken up, now.

00:02:51.507 --> 00:02:53.216
Toast is done.

00:02:53.216 --> 00:02:55.883
So, I'm going to
shut this off, now.

00:02:55.883 --> 00:02:57.416
Alright?

00:02:57.416 --> 00:02:59.666
Take it off the heat
for a second.

00:03:01.206 --> 00:03:03.432
Grab my toast.

00:03:04.152 --> 00:03:09.572
[Toast clatters
against the plate.]

00:03:12.452 --> 00:03:13.837
Alright.

00:03:13.837 --> 00:03:15.633
You want to make sure,

00:03:15.633 --> 00:03:17.600
before you put it
on your toast,

00:03:18.673 --> 00:03:21.869
that you put enough
salt and pepper in it,

00:03:21.869 --> 00:03:24.005
that it is seasoned good.

00:03:24.005 --> 00:03:25.740
Alright.
It's delicious. Alright.

00:03:25.740 --> 00:03:27.321
Now, I'm going to

00:03:27.321 --> 00:03:29.491
pour it right over
the toast.

00:03:29.491 --> 00:03:37.770
[Music.]

00:03:37.770 --> 00:03:40.010
Alright? Beautiful.

00:03:40.010 --> 00:03:41.761
There you have it.

00:03:41.761 --> 00:03:44.236
[Spoon scrapes pan.]

00:03:44.236 --> 00:03:45.491
Grandma Theresa's

00:03:45.491 --> 00:03:47.318
creamed tuna on toast.

00:03:47.318 --> 00:03:50.489
I almost forgot to wish

00:03:50.489 --> 00:03:52.262
all the mothers out there

00:03:52.262 --> 00:03:53.769
a happy Mother's Day,

00:03:53.769 --> 00:03:55.086
including my own.

00:03:55.086 --> 00:03:55.989
Judy.

00:03:55.989 --> 00:03:57.321
Happy Mother's Day.

00:03:57.321 --> 00:04:00.486
And, to my beautiful
and loving wife, Kelly.
