TUNA LOAF



Tuna Loaf image

I was looking for a tuna loaf recipe and found Carol Junkins 'Tuna Cakes~Flavors of Cape Cod.' I made few changes and additions, and on Carol's suggestion, here it is. Loaf will be on the dry side, since it's tuna and therefore, no fat, so you may want to serve with tartar sauce, a dill mayo, or any of your choice.

CAUSA DE ATúN - TUNA FISH POTATO LOAF RECIPE - (4/5)



Causa de atún - Tuna Fish Potato Loaf Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-36161

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 kg potatoes
1 small red onion
1 450 gr can of tuna in oil
5 limes
3 teaspoons powdered yellow chili or any chili blended with a bit of oil into a paste, to taste
2 teaspoons salt
2 avocados
1/2 - 3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 eggs
black olives (optional)
chopped coriander or parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes with the skin on in salted water until tender. Peel them and mash them while still hot. Let the mash cool down. In the meantime, chop the onion and place it in a bowl with water. Boil the eggs and slice them. Mix the mash with the juice of 3 limes, the chilli and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning. Drain the onion, drain the tuna, and mix both with the juice of 2 limes. Lightly oil a baking dish or baking tray with a mousse ring on top. Using a spoon or spatula, spread half of the mash and even it out. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on top of the mash. Slice the avocadoes and arrange them on top. Spread the tuna mix on top. Spread the rest of the mash and even it out. Spread another thin layer of mayonnaise and arrange the boiled egg slices. If using olives, scatter them around the egg slices. If using herbs, sprinkle them on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna. Opt for canned tuna packed in water, as this will result in a lighter and less oily tuna loaf. If you prefer a richer flavor, you can use tuna packed in oil, but be sure to drain it thoroughly before using.
  • Add moisture to the loaf. Tuna loaf can sometimes be dry, so it's important to add some moisture to the mixture. This can be done by adding mayonnaise, eggs, or even diced vegetables. If you're using mayonnaise, be sure to use a light hand, as too much can make the loaf greasy.
  • Season the loaf well. Tuna loaf is a mild-flavored dish, so it's important to season it well. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and celery salt. You can also add herbs, such as parsley, dill, or thyme, for extra flavor.
  • Bake the loaf at a low temperature. Tuna loaf is a delicate dish, so it's important to bake it at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the loaf from drying out or cracking. The ideal baking temperature is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the loaf cool before serving. Once the loaf is baked, let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the loaf to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Tuna loaf is a classic dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and versatile flavor, tuna loaf is a perfect dish for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as an appetizer, main course, or even a snack, tuna loaf is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tuna loaf a try!
