Ingredients

  • 200g can tuna steak in spring water, drained
  • 4 tbsp Greek-style natural yogurt
  • 1 stick celery, finely chopped
  • ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • 40g vintage Cheddar, grated
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped flat leaf parsley (about ¼ x 25g pack)
  • 4 large slices No.1 Seeded Sourdough Bread
  • 60g beetroot in a sweet chilli marinade, thinly sliced
  • 1 small carrot, scrubbed and grated
  • Olive oil, for brushing

Method

  1. Place the tuna in a bowl and mix in the yogurt, celery, red onion, cheese and parsley. Mash well to make a spreadable mixture and season to taste.

  2. Heat a large, heavy-based griddle or frying pan over a medium heat. Divide the mixture between the sourdough slices, pressing down firmly and evenly with a fork.

  3. Arrange a layer of beetroot on 2 sourdough slices, then the grated carrot. Press the two remaining slices on top.

  4. Brush or drizzle the sandwiches with a little oil and cook in the hot pan for 5 minutes each side (reduce the heat slightly if needed), pressing down with a spatula, until the sourdough is crunchy and golden. Cut in half and serve immediately.

Cook’s tip

For extra kick, stir some chopped, pickled jalapeños into the tuna mix.
