Ingredients

2 (5-ounce) cans tuna (preferably stored in oil), very well drained

1/4 cup mild-tasting mayonnaise, such as Hellmann’s

3 tablespoons chopped pepperoncini plus 1 tablespoon brine, plus more of each to taste

1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1/2 garlic clove, finely grated

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup thinly sliced celery (from 2 stalks)

Croissants (optional), split, for serving

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, mayonnaise, pepperoncini and its brine, sweet relish, sesame oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir vigorously with a fork, breaking up the tuna into fine threads. Fold in the celery, then taste and add more salt, pepper, pepperoncini and pepperoncini brine to your taste. Stuff into croissants for sandwiches, if you’d like.
