Tuna spread Greek style

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 can tuna in its own juice
• 1 onion(s), red
• 2 cloves garlic
• 200 g feta cheese
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 5 tbsp crème fraîche or yogurt
• 5 green olives with pepper seeds
• salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

Drain the tuna thoroughly, ideally squeezing it out, and place it in a bowl. Finely chop the onion and garlic and mix with the tuna. Mash the feta cheese with a fork (or in a food processor) until it forms a paste. Add it to the tuna along with the olive oil and crème fraîche/yogurt and mix until smooth. Chop the olives and stir in, seasoning with salt and pepper. If you like, you can also stir in Mediterranean herbs or a hard-boiled, chopped egg—it all depends on your taste. If the spread isn’t creamy enough, you can add more crème fraîche or olive oil. The spread is suitable both as a cold spread and as a topping for toasted bread/baguettes/bread (please only heat if made with crème fraîche! – yogurt may curdle!), and as a dip for raw vegetables. Served in dumplings on a bed of leaf salad, it can also be served as an appetizer.
