The Tuna Melt – Open Face, Insert Hypocrisy

If you watch as much food television as I do, then I’m sure
you’ve heard a celebrity chef or two, pontificating about the horrors of
combining cheese and fish. They say it’s never acceptable, no exceptions, never,
ever.


Of course, after the show ends, they have a couple beers and
head for their favorite late-night diner, where they enjoy delicious tuna
melts. Those hypocritical bastards. I’m not saying to start pouring nacho
cheese sauce over your sautéed sand dabs, but when it comes to food, it’s best
to never say never.

As I mention in the video, this will only be as good as your
tuna, so use something nice. You know I’m a Tonino man, but any imported,
olive-oil packed brand should work fine. By the way, I enjoy the classic,
toasted sandwich-style tuna melt a great deal, but this open face version is a
little easier to execute, and perfect for larger groups, since you can fit a
bunch on a pan.


Whether you use my formula or embellish to your tastes, I
really hope you give these a try soon. And, if you know any celebrity chefs,
invite them over and see if you can get them to admit this totally works.
Enjoy!

That’s goodtoknow

You can substitute oreos for toasted walnuts, pecans or sprinkle the brownies with honeycomb.

Ingredients

  • 165g (5 1/2oz) butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 200g (7oz) dark chocolate, grated or finely chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • Seeds of 1 vanilla pod or 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 165g (5 1/2oz) soft light
  • brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 154g pack of oreo biscuits, broken into quarters
  • Icing sugar, for dusting
  • 20cm (8in) square baking tin

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), Gas Mark 6 with the middle shelf ready. Grease the baking tin, then line with baking paper with the paper overlapping the sides a little.
  2. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat. When the butter has melted, remove the pan from the heat and add the grated chocolate.
  3. Leave to stand for a few minutes until the chocolate goes soft then stir together. Alternatively, you can put the chocolate and butter in bowl and melt in the microwave in 25-second blasts, stirring well each time.
  4. Whisk the eggs, egg yolks and vanilla together in a large bowl until they begin to get light and fluffy. Add the sugar in two additions whisking between each. Pour it around the side of the egg mix so as not to knock out the air that has been whisked in to it. Keep whisking until the mixture becomes stiffer. Once the egg mixture is ready pour the chocolate into it, again around the sides so as not to knock the air out.
  5. Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt and a third of the oreos and stir until fully combined, then pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Scatter the remaining oreos over the top, pressing them in slightly. Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes. The middle should be very so slightly gooey. Leave the brownies to cool in the tin. The top will sink and crack a little.
  6. Pull the brownies out using the overlapping paper and cut the brownies into squares. Dust with icing sugar.
