Treat your ingredients with care...
- Rye bread — Look for a dense and flavorful rye bread with a slightly sour taste. If you can't find rye bread, you can substitute it with whole wheat bread for a similar texture.
- Dill — Fresh dill is preferred for its vibrant flavor. If unavailable, you can use dried dill, but reduce the quantity by half.
Tips & Tricks
- For added crunch, you can add thinly sliced cucumbers or radishes to the sandwich.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of chili flakes or a few drops of hot sauce to the tuna mixture.
- To make it a more substantial meal, serve the sandwich with a side of Polish-style potato salad or sauerkraut.
Serving advice
Serve the Polish-style Tuna Sandwich as a light lunch or dinner. It pairs well with a side of pickles or a fresh green salad.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, cut the sandwiches into triangles and arrange them on a platter. Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill for an added touch of elegance.
