Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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

Notes

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.
