Recipe Ingredients
- 100 grams canned tuna, drained
- ½ onion
- 2 sour pickles
- 20 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper
- herbs of your choice for garnish
Methods
1. Start by roughly chopping half of the onion and the sour pickles. This will make it easier to blend them into a smooth consistency later.
2. Place the drained tuna, chopped onion, and pickles in a food processor, or in a suitable bowl if using a blender.
3. Add the unsalted butter, mustard, mayonnaise, and lemon juice to the mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper.
4. Blend until all the ingredients are well combined. However, avoid over-blending to achieve a better consistency.
5. For a creamier texture, add a little more mayonnaise.
6. Transfer the creamy tuna spread to a serving bowl.
7. Garnish with herbs of your choice, such as parsley, dill, or chives.
8. Serve with a choice of bread, vegetables, or crackers.
9. Any leftover spread can be covered airtight and kept in the fridge for up to two days.
Variations
Add crunch: For extra texture, stir in finely chopped celery or bell peppers.
Spice it up: For a spicier twist, add a splash of hot sauce or finely chopped jalapeños.
Herb Variations: Experiment with different herbs like basil, coriander, or tarragon for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
Breakfast or Brunch: Spread on a toasted bagel or croissant.
Appetizer: Use it as a dip for fresh vegetables or as a topping for crackers.
Party Platter: Add them as part of a charcuterie board with a selection of cheeses, meats, and breads.
