Recipe for Sunterra's tuna salad?

[nonlinear]

I posted this on chowhound as well, but I seem to have better luck on beyond, so here goes:

Sunterra gave out their recipe for tuna salad on the CBC a few years ago, but I was working when I heard it and didn't have a chance to write it down. I've been casually looking for it ever since, but haven't been able to find it on the net. Did anyone happen to write it down, and could posti it here?

if I rememebr correctly, it included pickles, tabasco, and maybe lemon juice (?)

thanks

:thumbsup:

I dont know if this is sunterras recipe, but this is the one I use. I minimize if if I am using the canned tuna.

2 pounds very fresh tuna steak, cut 1-inch thick
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black, plus extra for sprinkling
2 limes, zest grated
1 teaspoon wasabi powder
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (3 limes)
2 teaspoons soy sauce
10 dashes hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
1 to 2 ripe Hass avocados, medium diced
1/4 cup minced scallions, white and green parts (2 scallions)
1/4 cup red onion, small diced


Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the tuna steaks in a very hot saute pan and cook for only 1 minute on each side. Set aside on a platter.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, lime zest, wasabi, lime juice, soy sauce and hot sauce. Add the avocados to the vinaigrette.

Cut the tuna in chunks and place it in a large bowl. Add the scallions and red onion and mix well. Pour the vinaigrette mixture over the tuna and carefully mix

OK, here's a recipe I found on the web when I searched "tuna pickles tabasco."

the poster is listed as being from canada, and has a "cal" as part of her nickname. this seems to be kinda stalkerish, but i'm guessing that she is from calgary, and that her recipe may actually be Sunterra's recipe. here it it:

http://www.recipezaar.com/116814

Ingredients
3 (6 1/2 ounce) cans solid white tuna (squeeze out excess moisture with hands)
4-6 green onions, chopped (or to taste)
1 stalk celery, finely diced
1/2 lemon, juice of, fresh
1/2-3/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise (can use full-fat mayonnaise)
3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish (optional or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper (can use fresh ground black pepper)
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt or white salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder (optional)
2-3 drops Tabasco sauce (optional)

does that seem right????

still hoping that someone has the real Sunterra recipe written down

[nonlinear]

and BTW dannie your recipe looks effin' awesome, i'm gonna definately try that too!

but just trying to track down this particular Sunterra recipe :thumbsup:

[dannie]

No worries, I know this might sound dumb, but why dont you try going to the deli and sunterra and asking? That may help or they may lead you to the article that the recipe is in

Once upon a time I had it...I emailed them yesterday if you have a fax number they are willing to send it directly to that.

If you would post the recipe I will forward the fax number

PM me.

Okay I got the recipe, and they asked if I wanted it scaled down, and I said yes please so I will post that once the chef reworks the ingredients.

***Note...they did not say what kind of hot sauce

For now here is the recipe for a crowd says it will fit into a 16 liter bucket.

12 (12.89 kg of tuna) cans of cloverleaf tuna drained
4.5 kg of celery diced
1.5 bunches of green onion diced
1.125 kg of cream cheese
5 liters of mayonnaise
150ml of worchestchire sauce
75 ml of lemon juice
50 ml of hot sauce
6 grams of salt
20 grams of pepper


combine all ingredients and store in 16 liter bucket.

For once I don't have tuna in the fridge to see what size of a can size the tuna is in. I know Costco has large cans of tuna, I just prefer Cloverleaf, and that is what the recipe uses as well.

wow 5 liters of mayo

[nonlinear]

nice work man! let us know when he gives the scaled-down version!

[sputnik]

Those must be the really big commercial cans of tuna.

[nonlinear]

[momofan]

[nonlinear]

[momofan]

I was going to send them an email yesterday and this morning I got the recipe.

2 cans flaked or chunked tuna
2 Sticks celery (small diced)
2 Green onion stalks sliced thinly
1/3 cup Mayonnaise
3 tbsp Cream Cheese
1 tsp Tabasco
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Worchestershire Sauce
Salt and Pepper

Combine all ingredients in bowl. Mix with fork, (ensuring to break down all cream cheese), until all ingrentients are well blended.
I hope this recipe works for you! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call me here at the store 403-269-3610.
