This tuna loaf made with canned tuna, is an old Italian recipe: polpettone di tonno. It is one of my backup recipe I make when I am running out of food. It is made with ingredients I always have in my kitchen, plus it can be made ahead of time, stored in the fridge and served cold with a salad.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful tuna loaf, use tuna packed in oil instead of water. Alternatively, you can lightly sauté the onion in a little bit of oil before adding it to the mixture.
  • If you don't have bread crumbs, you can use crushed crackers or even cornflakes instead.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to the tuna loaf to taste, such as chopped celery, carrots, or hard-boiled eggs.
  • Be sure to press the tuna mixture firmly into the loaf pan before baking. This will help it hold its shape better.
  • Let the tuna loaf cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will make it easier to cut.
