The Original Spreadable Tuna Mousse (Spuma di Tonno) Recipe

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 10 ounces drained Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese tuna packed in oil (about 2 cups)
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

1. Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, and lemon juice.
2. Break down the tuna in a food processor by pulsing first, then running, until it is evenly chopped but not pureed.
3. Add the liquid seasonings and process until the mixture is smooth.
4. After a few seconds, stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate the tuna that didnt get into the puree.
5. With the machine running, add the butter, piece by piece, adding the next only after each is incorporated.
6. Do not overmix.
7. The butter needs to be blended with the tuna but not whipped to the point that it will melt because of the heat generated in the bowl.
8. Add the cream while pulsing the machine, and as soon as it appears incorporated, thats it.
9. This will only take a few seconds.
10. Transfer the mousse to a bowl or storage container and keep refrigerated.
11. The mousse can be made up to 3 days before serving.
12. Take it out of the refrigerator 45 minutes before serving to let it soften.
