tuna salad
need:
1 big can of tuna (idk 450g?)
- make that tuna in oil or water. not in jelly or something =_=
1/3 onion
2 gherkins
light mayonnaise (probably about 3 or 4 big scoops)
mustard
step 1: open can of tuna. let the oil leak out.
step 2: put tuna in a bowl and start mashing it with a
knife so you dont have big chunks of tuna in your salad.
step 3: chop onion and gherkins into small pieces and add to tuna
step 4: put in mayonnaise until the salade is nice and soggy.
step 5: put in a little bit of mustard just to spice it up a bit
served cold. to be eaten with bread mostly
edit: and i always put some chili flakes on it to spice it up more.

my indonesian grannie used to make fishcookies when

the recepy

FISHCOOKIEZ
what you need
- 1 large can of pink salmon (approx. 418 gram)
- 3 "beschuiten" or crackers. beschuit is translated as rusk.
- 1 spoon of flower
- 4 or more eggs
- 6 spoons of chopped onion
- 2 pieces of garlic (chopped)
- a big squeeze of tomato ketchup
- if you want, you can add some capers too
- black pepper
- oil to bake it in
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
how to make it
you make it in a big bowl (to mix it)
- crumble the rusk
- add the salmon (take out the bones and skin)
- add the spoon of flower
-- now stir it
- add the eggs, garlic, ketchup, pepper (,capers)
-- mix it
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now you have the mix to make the cookies.
- put oil in a baking pan
- make sure the oil is
hot
- now scoop a spoon of the mix and put it in the oil
-- when one side is brown (i prefer em to get a bit black-ish. no problem),
flip them over
-- when both sides are brown/black, they are done. doesnt matter if the
sides still look pink-ish. thats fine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sauce
the sauce doesnt have a proper recepy, so improvise a bit
basics:
- chopped onions
- garlic
-- bake in oil till its glossy
- add paprika (dunno maybe called pepper? the big ones; green/red/yellow
- little bit of water, pepper, vinegar, sugar and a little "maggi" block.. that
maggi block is just some herb block, you dont really need it. i couldnt
find it here in australia so we did without
-- let this heat up a bit longer and you are done.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what to eat em with
you can eat em with just about anything; potatos, rice (we always ate
em with rice), on a sandwich with some ketchup, all is fine.
enjoy! was always one of my favorite meals
