TUNA AND CAPER BITES



Tuna and Caper Bites image

One weekend while camping, my sister-in-law whipped up a simpler version of these tasty tuna bites as a snack. I decided to add capers, shallot, and lemon to make these elegant enough to serve at your next dinner party! I highly recommend using Mary's Gone Crackers® brand seed crackers; they not only provide the perfect nutty flavor, but they are also very crispy and sturdy, allowing these to be made an hour or two ahead of time.

TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON



Tuna With Capers, Olives and Lemon image

This is not your mother's mayonnaise-laden tuna salad, but it's just as easy to prepare. Here's what you do: stir together some canned tuna, garlic, lemon juice, red onion, black olives, capers and fresh parsley, then spread it on buttered toast. Top it off with a round of ripe tomato or slivers of avocado and another slice of toast. That's it. If you want to make it into a dip, toss the mixture into a food processor with a few tablespoons of softened butter and a bit more olive oil. Purée until smooth and creamy and serve with carrots, fennel, bell pepper and seeded crackers. If you have a tin of sardines taunting you from inside your cabinet, we bet this recipe would work equally well with those.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality canned tuna for the best flavor. Flake the tuna well to avoid large chunks.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but the flavor will not be as bright.
  • Use good-quality mayonnaise. Homemade mayonnaise is best, but store-bought mayonnaise can also be used.
  • Use freshly chopped capers for the best flavor. Jarred capers can be used, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Serve the dip immediately or chill it for later. If chilling, let the dip come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
