Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 small or 1 large can, well drained albacore tuna
1 - 8 oz cream cheese, softned - i soften, by placing in bowl and microwave 30 seconds or can leave soften on its own
1 small onion, diced small
2 tsp chili sauce
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 - 1/2 tsp accent seasoning ~ optional
dried parsley

Steps:

1. In a medium sized bowl, blend all together, well. Place in refrigerator to chill, for a few hours. Note: (Minced red pepper is very good in this spread, for a more festive look.)
2. This won't be a real stiff spread. What I do is lay out a piece of waxed paper and sprinkle some parsley where I'm going to be placing the spread. I scoop the spread out onto the waxed paper and use my hands to shape it. Sprinkling with parsley first makes it so easy. Once shaped as you desire, I then cut the excess waxed paper away, as close to the edges of the spread as possible. Place on serving plate and surround with your favorite crackers or party bread.
3. Tasty!

EASY DELICIOUS TUNA SPREAD (NON-DAIRY)

Easy Delicious Tuna Spread (non-dairy) image

The simplest part about preparing for any dinner party! Whenever I take it to a barbecue or potluck it disappears in a flash. Plus it keeps well in the fridge and is totally addictive. Can be served on crackers, as a spread, or in a small bowl as a side-dish. (Cooking time is for boiling eggs.)

Time 18m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped roughly
1 (185 g) can sandwich tuna, drained
1/2 small onion, chopped finely (optional)
2 tablespoons egg mayonnaise (sometimes sold as 'real mayonnaise')
1/2-1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
1 sprig parsley, to garnish

Steps:

Using a fork, squash the egg thoroughly until uniform in texture and colour.
Add sandwich tuna.
If using tuna in water, add olive oil; if using tuna in oil, leave it out.
It's possible to use chunk tuna instead, you just have to put more effort into squashing it well.
Add the chopped onion, mix and squash a bit with the fork-- I find this releases the juice from the onion and adds flavour without giving it that'onion-y' taste.
Add mayonnaise and mix well.
Serve in a small bowl and garnish with parsley as desired.
Also works well on crackers or as a spread.
Keeps in the refrigerator for at least a week-- I haven't tried longer than this because it always gets eaten!
