Petite Tuna Sandwich Rolls

A simple tea-time snack, but it can easily be served as finger food at cocktail parties and the like.

You can use your own favorite recipe for the tuna filling or you can follow this simple one that I use.
Ingredients:
1 large loaf
Bread

(use only fresh bread, even day old bread may not be
suitable as it tends to crumble when you roll it)

2 cans
Tuna

(I prefer to use tuna chunks in water
but you could use any variety)

4 generous tablespoons
Mayonnaise
2 medium sized
Onions
(finely chopped)
Pepper Powder

(about 2 teaspoons or according to taste)

Drain tuna and place into bowl together with the mayonnaise and chopped onions.

Mix the ingredients and season with pepper powder.

Trim edges from bread slices and cut into half.

Spread mayonnaise on the prepared slices and place a spoonful of the filling on the bread.

Roll the bread.

Press down the ends of the roll with a fork to prevent it from opening.
(
This tip was shared with me by my good friend, Chef Peter Pang.)


The rolls are ready to serve.


The filling can also be used for normal sandwiches which can be lined with lettuce, tomato and cucumber. Other kinds of filling (eggs, sardines, chicken and etc. as long as it is not in large chunks) can be used for these rolls.
