3 tablespoons chopped onion
3 tablespoons chopped green pepper
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 can (12 ounces) tuna, drained and flaked
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
Dough
2 cups biscuit/baking mix
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced pimientos
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 egg
2 teaspoons water
In a saucepan, saute onion and green pepper in butter. Blend in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in milk; bring to a boil over medium heat.
Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in soup, tuna, lemon juice and salt. Pour into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish.
For dough, combine biscuit mix and milk until blended. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle.
Sprinkle with cheese, pimientos and parsley. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Cut into 1-in. slices; place over tuna mixture.
Beat egg and water; brush over the swirls. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until top is lightly browned. Makes 6-8 servings.
