Title: Tuna Mornay
Post by: cathy79 on October 09, 2009, 07:50:06 am

Finally got around to converting my mum's tuna mornay recipe which I've cooked for years, and adapted a little.

Feeds approx 4 people

Ingredients
50g butter
50g plain flour
500g milk
80g cheese cubed or roughly chopped
420g tinned tuna in brine, drained
100g frozen peas (1 cup)
large tsp vegetable stock concentrate

Place butter, flour, milk and cheese in  *: and cook 7min 90deg  ^^.
Add tuna, peas and vegetable stock concentrate and cook approx 10min 90deg ^^ :-: or until hot and peas are cooked.
Serve with pasta or rice.

Tips
Can add optional lemon juice.  I also add sliced mushrooms if I have them.
Mum always served this with rice, but I prefer pasta.
Cheese - I started with 50g cheese but it wasn't nearly enough so added another 50g.  The cheese taste seems to get stronger as the sauce cooks, so next time I wouldn't add as much and will try 80g as stated above.

Members' comments
Shayla - It is usually best to make the sauce without the cheese and to stir in the cheese during the last minute. I always add a little mustard to a cheese sauce too.

Lilli33 - So good, this is so tasty.

This recipe looks tasty. My Mum used to make a similar mornay. It will bring back memories for lots of us. Thanks.

Great, I have been looking for a recipe like this.  Not too good at converting my own, need a couple of weeks off work to concentrate on them.  ;) ;)

Good idea Shayla. Mustard often 'perks' the taste up a bit.

Nice work Cathy, it is good to have success with conversions.  Love it when people get old favourites converted.  :-*

So good this is so tasty. I added half a cauli, cooked in the rice basket and puréed with a bit of butter and Parmesan. Soooo creamy and yummy. Have rice done now and made croutons from the last pieces of yesterday's bread. Made the lemon muffins/cupcakes today and am just thinking maybe I'll whip up a lemon custard (can't believe I h net made a
Lemon one yet) to go with the cakes for dessert. Mmmmmm.
