EASY TUNA SPREAD

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
