Tuna Spook Sandwiches
A Supper Solution from Mary King
At Halloween, dinner is a low priority on my kids’ minds, but forefront for me, since I want to make sure they have something healthy. I used to fuss and make a big dinner only to find my kids didn’t have an interest, and I was a bit stressed. These sandwiches came to my rescue. They’re a delight to the eye and easy to assemble, giving you time to assist your goblins into their evening attire.
Tip: These sandwiches also make a great after-school treat. Try varying the filling by using different Halloween cookie cutters. Add some cut up apples, carrots and celery to complete the meal.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 7 spook sandwiches
Special Tools: 1 ghost cookie cutter RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
1 (8 ounce) can solid white tuna fish, packed in water
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 celery stalk, finely diced
14 slices white sandwich bread
14 raisins
1. Drain water from tuna and place in small mixing bowl; break the tuna into small pieces with a fork. Mix in the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and celery.
2. Cut the bread slices with a cookie cutter into the shape of a ghost. Spread 7 slices with the tuna mixture and cover each with a second slice of bread. Use the raisins to make the eyes on each sandwich. Serve with celery and carrot sticks.
AND
ROASTED GHOSTS
Ingredients
4 cups chopped white potatoes
1/4 cup milk
1 crushed garlic clove
2 tablespoons cream cheese or grated cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 19-oz can black beans, drained
Directions
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until soft. Drain the water, then add the milk, garlic, cream cheese, salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher or beat with an electric mixer until creamy and lump-free.
Scoop the potatoes into a pastry bag without a decorator’s tip. Squeeze the ghosts onto a lightly buttered cookie sheet so they stand upright. To create ghastly eyes, press two even-sized black beans (or peas) into each ghost’s head.
Just before serving, warm the ghosts in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for about 5 minutes. Serve on white plates and eat with forks or fingers. Makes about 24.
TESTERS’ TIP: Be sure to make lots of mini ghosts–when we tested this recipe at the party, the kids wouldn’t touch the big ones.
My mom would always let me help make Rice Krispie treats, but use Cocoa Krispies instead. Then, we’d press them out into a pan and use Halloween cookie cutters to cute out shapes. For example, we’d use the bat shaped cookie cutters because the cocoa krispies make the treats look black. Or we’d add food coloring to regular Rice Krispie treats (orange, for example) and cut out pumpkin shapes. It’s easy and fun!
Good Luck!
