For your Shopping Cart:

A tasty pâté with the essense of savory tuna fish and lemon. We garnish with sliced lemons and green and black olives. Serve alongside a crusty loaf of baguette bread or toasted Bruschetta Crisps for the perfect presentation.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound potatoes, cubed
• 1 pound canned tuna in water, drained
• 2 ounces DeLallo Nonpareil Capers

• 2 ounces butter
• Salt and pepper
• 4 ounces mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon DeLallo Lemon Juice Plus
• A handful of DeLallo Pitted Calamata Olives and DeLallo Green Olives Gigante
• 1 lemon, quartered and sliced

Directions:

In a large pot of water, boil the potatoes until tender. Allow them to cool a bit before peeling. Purée or mash the potatoes well with a mixer or by hand.

In a food processor, combine tuna with half of the capers, a teaspon of lemon juice and the anchovies. Mix the tuna purée with potatoes, softened butter, salt and pepper. Once thoroughly combined, add 2/3 of the mayonnaise and mix until you have a well-blended pâté.

Display it on a serving dish, in the shape of a fish, adding some mayonnaise and the remaining capers on the top. Let it set a few hours in the refrigerator to set.

Before serving, garnish the border of the plate with the quartered and sliced lemon and top with the olives, sliced in ovals.
