Fresh tuna seasoned with sweet pickle relish and scallions creates a tasty burger. Texans use peppers to add flavor to many of their dishes without too much heat. I have used hot pepper sauce in the burgers and jalapeno pepper in the coleslaw.
Serve the coleslaw on the side or spoon some on top of the tuna burger.
Helpful Hints:
_ Any type of fresh tuna can be used.
_ Diced fresh onions can be found in the produce section of the supermarket.
_ Seed jalapeno pepper and chop in a food processor. Remove and set aside
_ Use the same food processor bowl, without washing it, to chop the scallions and then the tuna.
Countdown:
_ Make coleslaw.
_ Toast hamburger rolls.
_ Prepare and cook tuna burgers.
