Tonnato Sauce Ingredients
Method
Tonnato Sauce Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients needed for making the tonnato sauce. Ensure that the canned tuna is drained, and the capers and anchovy fillets are rinsed if necessary.
- 2
Blend the Base
In a blender or food processor, combine the canned tuna (including the olive oil from the can), mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, anchovy fillets, and Dijon mustard. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 3
Adjust Consistency
While blending, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to achieve a creamy consistency. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water or more lemon juice to reach your desired texture.
- 4
Season the Sauce
Add salt and black pepper to the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper according to your preference.
- 5
Serve or Store
Transfer the tonnato sauce to a bowl and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a dip or sauce for meats, vegetables, or sandwiches.
