Melt in your mouth tuna melt


Here's what you'll need:
• 2-3 Radicchio leaves
• 1 Tablespoon drained capers
• 2 slices sour dough bread or sandwich bread of your choice
• 2 Tablespoons good Mayonaise
• 1 garlic clove, cleaned and pressed or finely diced
•  3 slices Provolone, Monterey Jack, Cheddar or Havarti cheese
• 2-3 teaspoons Sierra Nevada stout mustard or other mustard including French's ;-)
• I can Albacore tuna
• Lemon Cecchetti olive oil or good extra virgin olive oil

In a medium sized glass bowl, combine tuna, mustard, mayo, capers and garlic using a fork to blend everything together until it has a creamy texture.

In a cast iron skillet, drizzle 3-4 teaspoons olive oil in skillet. Place both slices of bread in pan with one side touching skillet. Place cheese on one slice of bread. Put Radicchio and approx. 1/2 - 1/3 cup tuna on the other slice of bread. Cover and cook on medium low heat for 5-8 minutes until cheese is melted and bread side touching the skillet is golden brown. Put sandwich halves together, slice and serve. 

Bon appetite
