Tuna and Corn Sandwiches
Two tins and five minutes, and it holds together until lunch.
Ingredients
- Tinned tuna in springwater370 g
- Tinned sweetcorn200 g
- Mayonnaise50 g
- Lettuce80 g
- Sandwich bread400 g
- Butter30 g
Method
- Drain the tuna and the sweetcorn properly — wet filling is what makes a sandwich soggy by recess.
- Flake the tuna into a bowl, stir through the corn and mayonnaise, and season with pepper.
- Butter the bread to the edges and lay a leaf of lettuce on the bottom slice as a barrier.
- Spoon the filling onto the lettuce, close the sandwich, and press down gently.
- Cut in half and wrap straight away.
