Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices bread
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon anchovy paste, or more to taste
2 eggs, beaten
18 ounces Italian, oil-packed tuna
1 bunch parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon capers
ΒΌ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Arrange bread in a large baking dish. Pour milk over bread; allow to soak until bread is soggy. Remove bread and squeeze excess moisture from the bread. Discard milk.
  • Whisk anchovy paste with eggs in a bowl until dissolved.
  • Crumble tuna and moistened bread together in a large bowl. Add the egg mixture, parsley, capers, and Parmesan cheese; knead together until evenly blended and reasonably firm. Wrap the mixture in a clean cotton dishtowel and roll it up tightly, securing the two ends with string or elastic bands.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bundled tuna loaf in boiling water for 40 minutes; drain. Chill in refrigerator until cold before unwrapping and slicing to serve.
