Inspired by Ramon Negron's dish on his fun blog titled Wellness Sleuth.
Looking for an appetizer or snack that packs a punch and doesn't take a lot of time to prepare? Well... let me introduce to to some spicy little tuna treats today.
The quantity here will fill a party platter. The recipe can absolutely be cut in half for a smaller group. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 2 8 oz can solid white tuna - drained
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce**
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 4 scallion stalks - green parts only - sliced
- 2-3 tbsp white sesame seeds - toasted works well, also
- 4+ tbsp roasted red peppers - diced
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 long/large English cucumber - ~1/4" slices on the mandolin
**For more heat, adjust the amount of sriracha sauce as desired.
Preparation:
Wash the cucumber and slice on mandolin, or cut by hand to uniform thickness.
Add drained tuna, mayo, sriracha, and garlic powder to a
medium bowl. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir to
combine.
Divide the tuna mixture between the cucumber slices and arrange on a serving platter.
Garnish each appetizer with some of the sliced
green onion, red pepper and sesame seeds right before serving. Enjoy!
Blessed be... and happy cooking!
