Tuna Crème

I’m sure you know the Italian dish “Vitello Tonnato”. It’s veal with a sauce of tuna and capers, one of my favorite dishes. Since I like the taste of the creamy tuna and the saltiness of the capers, I tried a crème to go with the nutty crackers as an appetizer to accompany a nice glass of Champagne.

You need the following ingredients:

• 160 g / 5.6 oz tuna drained
• 120 ml / 1/2 cup sour crème
• 80 ml / 1/3 cup cream cheese
• 60 ml / 1/4 cup double fat greek yogurt
• juice of 1/2 a lime
• 2 tbsp / 30 g capers
• salt & pepper (to taste)

Pour all the ingredients except the capers into a Tupperware and blend with a hand blender until smooth. Then add the capers and blend again, but the capers should still have some texture.

Serve in a nice bowl and garnish, for example, with caper berries or capers, or experiment as you like, accompanied by my Nutty Crackers or Flaxseed Sesame Crackers as an appetizer.

Enjoy, Melanie…
