I am looking for a cold tuna appetizer. I have only 1 hour of time to prepare it.Anyone have a good cold tuna appetizer recipe?
tuna, mayo, rice, finely chopped onions (if you have scallions is better), finely chopped tomatoes (if you have cherry tomatoes just cut them in half and use it to decorate the appetizer).


Cook the rice. Mix it with all the other ingredients. Cover a pan with a non stick paper (aluminum or the transparent one) and put what you've just mixed there. Pop it in the fridge and when it's cold cut it in squares


Another option is to fill tomatoes with a mixture of rice, tuna and mayo. Believe me, those stuffed tomatoes are really good.Anyone have a good cold tuna appetizer recipe?

Tuna Balls - Polpette di tonno





This is really a really easy to make appetizer that can work as a main course too.


Serves: 4-8 Preparation time: 25 minutes





1-3/4 cup tuna fish packed in olive oil


1 cup ricotta cheese


1 egg


3/4 cup fresh ground parmesan


1/4 tsp. thyme


1 cup ground dry bread crumbs


salt to taste


oil to fry





In a large bowl mix the ricotta, egg, parmesan and thyme.





In a food processor blend the tuna until smooth. Drain the excess oil before blending.





Mix the tuna into the ricotta mix with a pinch of salt. Prepare a plate with the dry bread crumbs. Gently roll the tuna into one inch balls and then roll them in the bread crumbs.





Prepare a nonstick frying pan with olive oil. Fry them on both sides taking care when you turn them as they are very delicate. Place them a plate covered with paper towels to absorb the excess oil and let them cool a few minutes. .





This recipe will make around 30 to 40 balls depending on how big you make them. Take care when frying them as they will tend to fall apart otherwise. They make a delicate appetizer or you can serve them with salad as a main course.
