Tuna & Fennel Sandwich with Mayo

Whenever I fancy a sandwich I look in the fridge and there is never anything I fancy, so now I make sure that I have a selection of concoctions ready to go.

This is one of them.

Tuna & Fennel Sandwich with Mayo

Time 20 minutes (not including cooling)

 

You will need

1 teaspoon – Fennel Seeds (crushed)

½ teaspoon – Dried Garlic

1 teaspoon – Dried Garlic

A little Olive Oil

½ tablespoon – Plain Flour

120 Ml – Semi Skimmed Milk

A splash of White Wine

1 - 160 Gm – can of Tuna (drained)

Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Mayonnaise or Garlic Mayonnaise

Put the fennel seed in a spice grinder or pestle and mortar just to release the flavour.

Heat a little olive oil in a pan.

Then fry off the garlic, fennel and parsley for a couple of minutes.

Add the flour and mix to a paste.

Now add a splash of white wine and mix to a paste, cook off the wine for a couple of minutes.

Add the milk a little at a time to make a smooth creamy sauce.

Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper then simmer for about 5 minutes.

Now add the tuna and mix well.

Put into a bowl and place in the fridge until cool.

When cooled add the mayo and more freshly ground black pepper then mix well.
