EASY TUNA SPREAD
Steps:
- Open the cans and pour most of the oil into a separate glass or bowl (you'll add some of the oil later on)
- Put the tuna in your food processor with a few squeezes of lemon juice, parsley and some pepper
- Blend and slowly add some of the oil you saved from the cans. I usually add about half of the oil, but it's up to you to decide on the desired consistency. It's a spread so it shouldn't be too runny, but you don't want it to be dry either
- Optional: I find some brands of canned tuna too salty. If that's the case, I add a few spoons of ricotta to neutralise the salty taste and add some extra creaminess
- This tuna spread will keep about 1 week in your fridge

Tips:
- Choosing the right tuna is crucial. Opt for high-quality tuna packed in water or olive oil.

- Season the spread generously with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a bit of spice.
- If you're making the spread ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
