Tuna Pinwheels




Tuna Filling
2 5 oz cans White Albacore Tuna
1 celery stalk, diced
1 Tbs pimentos, drained
1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper
1/4 cup Tzatziki sauce
dash of lemon juice

Pinwheel
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup veg shortening
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
Up to 1 cup of milk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix tuna, celery, pimentos, lemon pepper, tzatziki sauce and lemon juice in small bowl, set aside. In a large bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles lumpy crumbs. Add just enough milk to make dough, it should not be too sticky. Roll out on floured surface to a 12 X 7 inch rectangle (roughly). Spread tuna mixture to 1/2 inch of edges. Start with one long side and roll up. Then slice in large pieces, roughly 1 1/2 inch. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake for 15-18 mins or until golden brown.

I sometimes serve this with cream of mushroom or celery soup as a "gravy" by only mixing in half a can of water.



Stay tuned for my Garlicy Green Beans.

This has inspired me to make a vegan version. Maybe with mashed white beans, pesto and crescent roll dough/puff pastry? Thanks for the inspiration!
