Appetizers Quick Recipes Simple Recipes Fish and Seafood Croatian
I'm back in the kitchen! Starting with something easy, just to get back into the swing of things... This pâté was served as a complimentary appetizer in the restaurants of Korcula. It was also part of assorted platters alongside pršut, olives and marinated eggplant, goat cheese and eggplant spread.
Ingredients
1 can of 250 g tuna in oil
2 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 onion
1 tablespoon capers (in vinegar or salt)
3 very small brined gherkins
1 level tablespoon mustard
pepper, salt
How to prepare tuna pâté with capers
- Desalt the capers in cold water or absorb the vinegar with paper towels.
- Place the drained tuna and eggs in a blender and mix until well crumbled.
- Add the finely chopped onion and half of the oil drained from the tuna and blend until you get a smooth paste. Add the mustard while blending. If your blender struggles to blend properly, add a bit more oil.
- Add the gherkins cut into small pieces and the capers. Blend briefly so that visible pieces of capers and gherkins remain in the paste.
- Transfer the paste to a bowl and season with pepper and salt if needed.
- Keep the paste refrigerated during which time the flavors will blend and the paste will firm up slightly.
- Serve on toasted bread.
