Tuna Spread / Dip


New year brought hot weather in my country, and significant change in my cooking; no more slow cooked meals and soups. My fridge is occupied with salads, spreads and a variety of deli products.
Cans of beans and tuna have also multiplied in my pantry, because it's easy and convenient to use them in many different ways.
Today i present an easy (canned) tuna recipe, that can be used as spread, dip, or filling for vol-au-vents, crepes...

Ingredients:
1 large can of tuna in brine (or spring water), drained
extra virgin olive oil (usually 1/4 cup)
white pepper and salt to taste
(other herbs and spices, to your liking - mustard, dill, garlic or onion powder, curry...)
Method:
Place 2/3 tuna and seasonings in a food processor. Run it while pouring olive oil. Stop when you're happy with texture. Mash leftover tuna with fork and mix into the spread. Serve!



Namaz od konzervirane Tune

Nova godina i toplo vrijeme su  pristigli u moju zemlju, donoseci znacajne promjene u mom kuhanju; nema vise dugo kuhanih jela i supa. Frizider je pun salate, namaza i razlicitih delikatesnih proizvoda. Konzerve graha i tune su se namnozile u ostavi, jer je brzo i lako ukomponovati ih u obrok na mnogo nacina.
Danas predstavljam recept sa tunom, koji moze biti koristen kao 'umak' (sa krekerima), kao namaz, masa za punjenje slanih korpica ili rolata, palachinki...

Potrebno:
1 velika konzerva tune u salamuri / pajcu ('proljetna voda'), ocijedjena
djevicansko maslinovo ulje (obicno1/4 solje)
bijeli biber i so prema ukusu
drugi zacini po zelji (kopar, senf / slacica, kari, luk u prahu ...)

Nacin:
Stavite 2/3 tune i zacine u elekrticnu sjeckalicu, ukljucite i dodajite ulje polako dok niste zadovoljni sa teksturom. Preostalu 1/3 tune izgnijecite viljuskom i umijesajte. Ukrasite biljem i servirajte.
