Yield Makes 4 hors d'oeuvre servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For brandade
1/2 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1 cup)
3/4 cup whole milk
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (6-oz) can solid white tuna packed in olive oil
2 tablespoons bottled capers (not salt-packed), rinsed, drained, and chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Accompaniment: crostini

Steps:

  • Make brandade:
  • Combine potatoes, milk, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are very tender, about 10 minutes. Discard bay leaf and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add tuna and capers to hot potato mixture, then beat with an electric mixer at low speed, adding oil in a slow stream, until potatoes and tuna are broken up but not smooth and oil is incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.

These crostini were a great way to use up leftover tuna. I will definitely be making them again.

These crostini were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more herbs or spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of capers, but I still enjoyed these crostini. The tuna and lemon were a great combination.

These crostini were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less capers next time.

This tuna and caper brandade crostini was a delightful appetizer! The flavors were well-balanced and the texture was smooth and creamy. I especially enjoyed the briny flavor of the capers.
