I experienced one of those absolutely crushing hangovers this weekend: an almighty headache, accompanied by a nausea that I couldn't shake until about 3pm. It's funny how, in my experience, I go from barely being able to hold a cup of tea down to being ravenously hungry. But when you do get beyond the point of just wanting to curl up in a whimpering ball in bed - and you can actually look forward to the idea of food - then this tuna mayonnaise is just the thing.
I usually make a huge batch with the idea of having it as a sandwich filler for the next few days - but I usually end up gorging on it in front of the telly..
Ingredients:
1 x tin tuna (in salt water, preferably)
1 x large tin of sweetcorn
about 5 decent sized tablespoons of yoghurt (or half a tub)
1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lemon, plus zest
1 x large bunch of parsley, chopped
2 spring onions, diced
generous handful of sea salt and pepper
I usually alternate ingredients - a handful of chopped capers goes wonderfully, and likewise using different herbs like mint makes it really tasty. Celery is also a delicious stand-in if you don't have sweetcorn!
Simply combine the ingredients and pile generously onto a good, thick bit of bread - and enjoy with a cup of tea to relieve yourself of hangover hell!
P.S for said hangover hell, I strongly recommend ibuprofen instead of paracetamol - and once you feel like you won't be sick (again) a glass of coke helps. Something about the fizziness and the sugar I think..
one of my favourite fillings - can't go wrong! Love the way that by only using one slice of bread you can really pile it up...good work!
ReplyDeleteAll I could ever manage with a hangover was a ham sandwich and a can of 7up!!!!
ReplyDeleteFair play!

Agree on the Coke thing, but even better are frozen coke slushy thingies. With an ibuprofen or 2.
ReplyDeleteSounds like what started out as a bad day ended up like a good one. What a classic.
ReplyDeleteI've not had tuna, sweetcorn mayo filling in ages - one of my fav and this is making me feel hungry!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely scrummy. The only way this could possibly be improved as a hangover cure is a layer of melty cheese on top. Tuna melts rule!

Omg yum! I love tuna & sweetcorn. Ever since I moved back to Australia I can't find any good pre made ones like they have in the UK :'( So I'll definitely be bookmarking this and making it! :D
