    Getting the Recipe Right

    I wanted to preserve the perfect yellowfin filets I found in the jar to offer a formative bite of this delicious tuna, so I gently sliced them into bite sized pieces after draining off the oil. I also included some of the flaked tuna in the creamed mixture to create this perfect appetizer bite.

    Not Your Momma's Tuna Salad

    Tonnino Tuna is looking for inspirational ideas to create “Simply Better Tuna Recipes” that occur when creativity is fused with unexpected flavors and ingredients that are made with the best tuna served either hot or chilled that makes everyday dishes into gourmet dishes.

    Tonnino Tuna

    The flavor of Tonnino Tuna packed in olive oil is unmatched by similar brands. I loved the chunks of yellowfin tuna filets found in the 6.7 ounce jar, as they worked perfectly for my recipe.

    Prep Time 20 minutes mins
    Course Appetizer
    Cuisine American
    Servings 1 ½ dozen

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 6.7- oz jar Tonnino Tuna with Lemon & Pepper divided
    • 8 oz block cream cheese room temperature
    • 2 large endive bulbs leaves removed
    • 1 4 ounce jar sweet chopped pimiento peppers
    • 1 teaspoon capers more for garnish
    • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
    • ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
    • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
    • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
    • 1 cup micro greens or fresh herbs

    Instructions
     

    • Using a fine sieve, drain Tonnino Tuna over a medium bowl. Gently slice the whole tuna filets. Reserve 2 tablespoons flaked tuna for creamed mixture
    • Combine room temperature cream cheese, sweet chopped pimientos, with liquid, lemon juice, capers, prepared horseradish, 2 tablespoons flaked Tonnino tuna, salt and pepper, in a medium sized food processor.
    • Process mixture until smooth, about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, scrape the sides of the bowl to pick up any large clumps of cheese and process for another 3 minutes. When mixture is smooth, stir in finely chopped chives.
    • Using the spatula, remove mixture to a medium piping bag fitted with a large hole pipping tip.
    • Gently remove all the leaves from the endive bulb. Remove and discard any damaged endive leaves. If the leaves become too difficult to remove, cut the root end with a knife to release them.
    • Lay the larger endive leaves on a large serving plate in the shape of a star. Fill the round space in the middle with a layer of micro greens or herbs.
    • Pipe a dollop of the creamed tuna mixture onto the lower portion of the endive leaf. Continue until all the lower leaves are done. Garnish each dollop of creamy tuna mixture with a piece of sliced tuna filet, edible orchids and capers.
    • Once the lower layer is completed, continue with the smaller leaves and place them on top of the micro greens in a star shape. Garnish each accordingly and serve immediately.
    • The appetizer can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator, covered loosely with plastic wrap.
    •  

    Notes

    • You will need one piping bag and one large piping tip
    • I used mini mixed greens to fill the hole in the middle of the plate as a base for the top star shape. Any chopped lettuce, herbs or greens can be used.
    • Garnish: Edible mini orchids, mini chives shoots, capers
