Hot Tuna Rolls

2 7-oz cans tuna, drained and flaked, or equal amount fresh cooked tuna
3 T lemon juice
4 T any type pickle relish/pepper relish
1 cup chopped celery
2 T minced fresh parsley
2 T chopped green onions
2 T chopped green pepper
Mayonnaise
Ground pepper
4 hot dog buns
4 slices cheddar cheese
Parchment, cut into 4 pieces, each large enough to enclose a hot dog bun (see note below)

Mis tuna thoroughly with lemon juice, relish celery, parsley, onions and green pepper; add enough mayonnaise to moisten well. Add pepper to taste. Open hot dog buns carefully (do not break apart) and gently scoop out the soft inner part, leaving the shell. Divide tuna equally among buns and place a slice of cheese lengthwise on top of each. Wrap in parchment or butcher’s paper, folding so that seam is on the top. Bake at 400*F on a baking sheet for 6 to 8 minutes. Tuna should be heated through, cheese melted and buns crisp. Serve in the wrappers.

Serves 4.
Note: Parchment is available through most specialty food shops. Its purpose is to retain moisture while heating the food inside. Unglazed butcher’s paper or small brown paper bags may be substituted.
