Categories     SIDE DISHES

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cans (organic) tuna in olive oil (see comments above)
Lemon juice and pepper to taste
A few leaves of parsley or chives
Optional: ricotta

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

EASY DELICIOUS TUNA SPREAD (NON-DAIRY)



Easy Delicious Tuna Spread (non-dairy) image

The simplest part about preparing for any dinner party! Whenever I take it to a barbecue or potluck it disappears in a flash. Plus it keeps well in the fridge and is totally addictive. Can be served on crackers, as a spread, or in a small bowl as a side-dish. (Cooking time is for boiling eggs.)

Categories     Tuna

Time 18m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped roughly
1 (185 g) can sandwich tuna, drained
1/2 small onion, chopped finely (optional)
2 tablespoons egg mayonnaise (sometimes sold as 'real mayonnaise')
1/2-1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
1 sprig parsley, to garnish

Steps:

  • Using a fork, squash the egg thoroughly until uniform in texture and colour.
  • Add sandwich tuna.
  • If using tuna in water, add olive oil; if using tuna in oil, leave it out.
  • It's possible to use chunk tuna instead, you just have to put more effort into squashing it well.
  • Add the chopped onion, mix and squash a bit with the fork-- I find this releases the juice from the onion and adds flavour without giving it that'onion-y' taste.
  • Add mayonnaise and mix well.
  • Serve in a small bowl and garnish with parsley as desired.
  • Also works well on crackers or as a spread.
  • Keeps in the refrigerator for at least a week-- I haven't tried longer than this because it always gets eaten!
