1 1/2 cup milk
1 can tuna - (6 oz) drained and flaked
1 tbl fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup sour-cream
1/3 cup minced drained canned pimientos
CHEESE SWIRL BISCUITS

1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar or American cheese
GREEN PEAS AND MINT

 Method :
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly butter 1 1/2- to 2-quart casserole and set aside.
Tuna Mixture: Stir-fry onion in butter in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, until lightly browned, about 5 to 8 minutes. Blend in flour and salt, then broth. Add milk and heat, stirring constantly until thickened and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in tuna, sour-cream, pimiento and lemon juice; set off heat, but keep warm.
Cheese Swirl Biscuits: Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a large mixing bowl. Add shortening and cut in with pastry blender until texture of coarse meal. Add milk and fork briskly to make soft dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12- by 8- by 1/4-inch rectangle. Scatter cheese evenly on top, then jelly-roll style, starting from short end, to form roll 8 inches long. With floured sharp knife, slice 1-inch thick.
Spoon tuna mixture into casserole. Space biscuits evenly on top, arranging so spiral designs show. Bake, uncovered, until biscuits puff and brown slightly, about 20 minutes.
In a saucepan with 1/2 cup boiling water add frozen peas, follow directions on the back of package. Drain. In a glass bowl, toss peas, with butter and dried mint.
