Spicy tuna melts with celery and 3 breads
A member asked me to translate some Norwegian recipes, thought I might as well post these in the forum as well.
Norwegian/Swedish breads tend to be more like a thick flat bread style, you can tell from the photos, please look at the links, just in case you didnt realise, these are very nice though, I have made the rolls many times, excellent for bacon and egg sandwiches, or to take to work with you.
Spicy tuna melts with celery
1 can of tuna in oil
1 heaped tbsp finely chopped red onion
1 heaped tbsp finely chopped red bell pepper
1 heaped tbsp finely chopped celery
1 minced jalapeno pepper (with seeds)
1 chopped hard boiled eggs
5 finely chopped cornichons or cocktain gherkins or other pickled veggies you might like
approx. 3-4 heaped tbsp of good mayonnaise
1 tbsp vinegar from the cornichons/gherkins
salt & pepper
bit of mustard
4 slices low carb bread
some sliced yellow cheese
_______________________________________________________________________________
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees.
Drain tuna. Mix tuna, onion, bell pepper, celery, jalapeno, egg and cornichons. Stir in mustard, mayonnaise and cornichon vinegar. It may vary a little how much mayonnaise you need. Adjust so it looks right to you. Season with salt and pepper, taste the mixture.
Spread tuna mixture on your low carb bread and place on to a baking tray, a silicon one is best but if you havent got that use a lined, greased tray, bake the sandwiches in the oven for five minutes. Take them out of the oven and put cheese on top of the tuna mixture.
Put them back in oven and cook until the cheese bubbles and is golden brown.
Now you can use either of these breads:
Sunflower bread:
3 eggs
75g cream cheese
1/2 cup cream (1 cup = 250ml)
110g finely ground sunflower seeds
1 tbsp psyllium husks (but if you havent got these, just use finely ground flaxseeds instead, it will be ok)
1 heaped tsp baking powder
salt
Mix everything together in a food processor and place in a well buttered, square roasting tin, sprinkle sunflower seeds on top, bake at 170 degrees, thats fan assisted ovens, for 20 minutes or so. When cooled, cut into squares.

Breakfast rolls (I already posted these once, but here it is again:
1 cup sesame seeds
50 ml sunflower seeds
50 ml wheat or oat bran
30 ml linseed
2 cups grated cheese
4 eggs
1 tbsp psyllium husks
1/2 tsp salt
1 heaped tsp baking powder
2 tsp nigella seeds (aka black onion seeds, Indian shops or ebay sell these)
poppy seeds or sesame seeds or other seeds for garnish
Grind sesame seeds and sunflower seeds. Mix together all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Whisk together the eggs and mix them in the into the dry ingredients Leave the batter to thicken for about 10 - 15 minutes, if it is not thick enough for you to be able to shape the mixture into rolls you can add a bit more wheat/oat bran to make it thicker.
Shape mixture into large rolls, sprinkle seeds on top, bake at 180 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.
