INGREDIENTS: (serves 4 people)

• 2 cans spicy plant based tuna flakes (I used @meetunmeat.us)
• 1/2 cup diced red onion 
• 1/2 cup diced celery 
• 1/8 cup diced spring onion 
• 3 tbsps avocado oil mayo 
• 1 tbsp dijon honey mustard 
• 1 tsp cumin seeds powder 
• 1 tbsp kitchen king masala (optional)
• 1 tsp ajwain (carom seeds)
• 1/4 tsp salt 
• 1 tbsp red chilli falkes 
• 100-150 gms shaved cheddar cheese
• 8 slices of white bread (I used small sandwich bread)
• 2 cups spring greens 
• Honey to drizzle on top

METHOD:

• In a bowl, put the tuna flakes and add fresh water. I always like to rinse and then strain canned food in fresh water. 
• In a separate bowl, add strained tuna flakes, onions, celery, spring onions, cumin seeds powder, ajwain, kitchen king masala, mayonnaise, Jon mustard, chili flakes and salt. Combine well. 
• Toast the bread slides in the toaster. 
• Line the baying tray w/ parchment. 
• Place the toasted bread. Lay the shaved cheddar cheese, then handful of spring greens, 3 tbsps of tuna mix, more cheese, sprinkle of chili flakes. 
• Broil until cheese melts. 
• Drizzle honey on top and enjoy with some crinkled potato chips!
• Bon Appetit 😋
