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

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!
