Number Of Ingredients 8

7 oz can(s) imported oil-packed tuna, drained
2 tsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp good-quality balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp butter, unsalted, at room temperature
1 tsp butter, unsalted, at room temperature
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 3. Check the sesaoning, then add the heavy cream and pulse to blend. (Be careful not to over blend once the cream is added or the mixture may break.)
  • 4. Serve at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to four days. If refrigerated, return the spuma to room temperature before serving.
