- 12 ounces good quality tuna like albacore, drained
- 3 - 4 generous tablespoons of dijon mustard and mayonnaise in a ratio that appeals to you
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 red onion finely minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- melba toasts toasted slices of baguette or your favorite crackers
Put the tuna in the food processor, breaking up any large chunks
Add a couple spoonfuls of dijon and mayonnaise and pulse a few times.
Scrape the sides and taste. Add more mayonnaise or dijon as desired. If you like the taste but need to smooth the mix, add a little olive oil.
Season with salt and pepper
Transfer to a bowl, top with the onion and a drizzle of olive oil
Any type of canned or cooked fish (or meats) can be used to make rillettes. Feel free to substitute. I also like sardines and mackerel. We highly recommend serving with some sort of pickle.
