Questions about Tuna sub
How do you make a tuna sub at home?
Mix drained tinned tuna with just enough mayonnaise to bind it, then pile it into a soft sub roll with shredded lettuce and sliced cucumber. Add the tuna mixture just before serving so the bread stays firm.
Can you toast a tuna sub?
Yes. Put the tuna and cheese in the roll and toast it in a hot sandwich press until the bread is crisp and the cheese has melted, usually about 3–5 minutes. Add lettuce, tomato or cucumber afterwards so they stay fresh.
What goes well in a tuna sub?
Lettuce, tomato, cucumber and red onion add crunch and freshness; sweetcorn, sliced gherkins or a little grated cheese are also popular. A squeeze of lemon or a spoonful of mustard can sharpen a mayonnaise-based filling.
How long can you keep a tuna sub in the fridge?
Wrap it well and refrigerate it promptly at 5°C or colder; eat it within 1–2 days. If you know you will store it, keep the tuna filling separate from the bread and salad until serving.
How much does a typical tuna sub weigh?
A typical sub weighs about 237 g. That portion provides 524 kcal.
Is a tuna sub lower in energy than a turkey breast sub?
No. A tuna sub has 221 kcal per 100 g, compared with 147 kcal in a turkey breast sub; the mayonnaise in the tuna filling contributes much of the difference.
