Notes
Tuna mousse is a basic recipe, it can stand on its own legs. There are some interesting twists that make the preparation even more delicious. You can add two anchovy fillets. Or some drops of asian fish sauce. This enhances the canned tuna. If instead you want to tune down the fishiness, rinse the tuna.The basic recipe ask for half ricotta, half cream cheese. A less moral deviation uses thirds. One third of ricotta, one third of cream cheese and one third of cream. It is advisable to add to the mousse. Not to the preparation. Pickled onion and gherkins match perfectly. As does a dusting of bottarga. This is an ideal starter or aperitif snack. It copes with cocktails and wine. If we may suggest a wine, go for Nutaru, by Avide
