Flavorful, colorful and uses no mayo so high in protein, low in saturated fat. Cook time is chill time. This is a 'wanna be contest winner that I created for the Ready Set Cook #11 contest but I could only submit three entries. Ingredients:
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained |
2 shallots, peeled (or one if quite large) |
1 (6 1/2 ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained |
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, not drained (use 1/4 cup tomatoes and 3 t of the olive oil it comes in, an 8.5 ounce jar will make this recipe th) |
1/4 cup asiago cheese |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 tablespoon dried basil (or more, to taste) or 1/2 tablespoon fresh basil (or more, to taste) |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients in a food processor or blender until well-blended but still a little chunky - do not completely puree.
2. Chill at least 30 minutes. Several hours or overnight is better.
3. Serve in your favorite way - on toasted rolls, tuna melts, on top of greens or whatever floats your boat.
