Now that the water crisis is behind us I can start cooking again however, yesterday I was still a little skeptical as to whether the water was safe to drink or cook with yet, so I did a semi-homemade kind of dinner and it was so yummy! I served up Tuna burgers with a side of asparagus!
This is what you need for the tuna burgers:
2 frozen tuna burgers ( I get mine from Whole Foods)
4 Slices of gluten free sandwich bread
Red Onion
Garlic Olive Oil (Olave Organic Garlic Olive Oil
)Butter
To cook the burgers:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. While the oven is preheating, get a cookie sheet and cover it with aluminum foil. On top of the aluminum foil, place a metal rack with slits (like a sheet you use to cool cookies); spray lightly with cooking spray. Place your tuna burgers on top, place in oven-- cook for 6-8 minutes on each side. Once that is complete, remove tuna burgers from oven and finish the cooking process in a skillet (on medium heat with a little cooking spray) cooking approximately 1-2 minutes on each side so the burger brown slightly. Once cooked, remove from heat.
Toast gluten free sandwich bread in toaster oven (Breville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ
). Once toasted, spread butter on one piece and garlic olive oil on the other. Place tuna burger in between. Serve with a nicely cut (not too thin), circle slice of red onion on the side (it makes the plate look pretty and tastes amazing on the burger!!). Enjoy!_______________________________________________________________________________
The gluten free sandwich bread definitely adds to the yummy-ness, the texture of the bread goes so nicely with the burger, I much prefer this over a regular burger bun.
This burger can be served with whatever you want on the side. Becca and I had oven roasted asparagus with a little pepper and sea salt (Alessi Coarse Sea Salt, 2.83-Ounce Grinders (Pack of 6)
) and they went very nicely with the meal!
