TONNATO SAUCE (TUNA SAUCE)
About 2 cups
This tangy sauce is traditionally served with veal, but we also love it with cold poached chicken, roast pork, or grilled or roasted vegetables.
Combine in a food processor or blender:
- One 5- to 6-ounce can tuna packed in oil, drained
- 1 cup mayonnaise, store-bought or homemade
- 5 anchovy fillets, finely chopped, or 2 teaspoons anchovy paste
- 3 tablespoons drained capers
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- Black pepper to taste
Process until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate. To serve, thinly slice the cold meat or chicken and arrange, overlapping, on a platter. Pour the sauce over and sprinkle with:
- Chopped parsley
