Chef Tips

- Escorra o atum pressionando a tampa da lata ou usando uma peneira para eliminar todo o excesso de líquido antes da mistura - Pique a cebola em pedaços milimétricos para que ela se integre perfeitamente à pasta sem sobrepor a textura do peixe - Mantenha o patê sob refrigeração por no mínimo 30 minutos antes de servir para assentar a consistência e realçar os temperos

Variations

- Patê de atum com azeitonas acrescentando duas colheres de sopa de azeitonas verdes ou pretas picadas à mistura final - Patê aveludado batendo todos os componentes no liquidificador ou processador até obter uma pasta totalmente lisa - Versão aromática adicionando salsinha e cebolinha verde frescas picadas finamente logo antes de refrigerar

Substitutions

- A maionese pode ser substituída por iogurte natural desnatado, requeijão cremoso ou creme de ricota para versão mais leve - O atum em pedaços pode ser trocado por sardinha em lata sem espinhas ou sobras de peixe assado desfiado - A mostarda amarela tradicional pode ser substituída por mostarda escura ou mostarda em grãos dijon

How to Store

Always keep the tuna pâté in a sealed glass or plastic container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Mix gently with a spoon before serving again to homogenize any liquid that may separate.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not recommended to freeze the tuna salad prepared with mayonnaise, as the process breaks the emulsion and separates the water from the oil upon thawing. Always prepare in portions suitable for consumption within a few days in the refrigerator.

What to Serve With

Serve garnished with French bread toast, whole wheat crackers, slices of sandwich bread, or raw carrot and cucumber sticks. It also acts as an excellent filling for natural sandwiches and party canapés.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it better to use solid tuna or shredded tuna in this recipe?

Solid tuna in water or oil offers better texture and visual quality when shredded with a fork, while the grated one results in a denser and more compact paste.

Can the pate have a bitter taste because of the raw onion?

If the chopped onion is not consumed in the first few days, it can intensify the odor; chopping it very finely and leaving it in ice water before using prevents this effect.

Can I replace all the mayonnaise with homemade mayonnaise?

Yes, but homemade mayonnaise prepared with raw eggs reduces the shelf life of the pâté in the fridge to a maximum of 24 to 48 hours for food safety.

How to make the pâté firmer to fill canapés?

Simply drain the liquid from the canned tuna very well, dose the mayonnaise in moderation, and let it chill for at least 1 hour before assembling the canapés.
