- In Italy most recipes which call for tuna are referring to canned tuna packed in extra virgin olive oil. The best is ventresca di tonno, that undercut
- (belly) packed in high quality extra virgin olive oil. You may use fresh tuna and saute/fry it in extra virgin olive oil.
- This recipe evolved from a description in Giuseppe Maffioli['s La cucina padovana. The spread can be bound with mayonnaise instead of butter, but it won't have the unctuous texture of traditional Jewish tuna pate.
- Place the tuna (undrained) in a food processor and pulse to break it up.
- Add in the butter, lemon zest and anchovies, and process till you have a smooth, creamy puree. Season with lemon juice and pepper. The anchovies should provide sufficient salt. Spread on the bread slices and top with teh capers and olives.
- Variation: combine 1/2 lb canned extra virgin olive oil packed tuna, 1/2 lb mascarpone cheese and 1/2 c. unsalted butter. Mix together ina food processor and season to taste with salt and freshly grnd black pepper; serve spread on toasted or possibly grilled bread. Garnish with minced fresh flat-leaf parsley.
- Alternatively, add in 1 c. mashed potato in place of the cheese.
