Tuna hummus
August 26, 2011 • Category: Mezze/Appetizers
This tuna hummus is made in minutes in the food processor; just add some tarator sauce (tahini, lemon, water and garlic) to the tuna, some pimento or Aleppo pepper, some herbs and maybe capers if you like them.
INGREDIENTS: 10 servings
- 2 (5-ounce) cans of tuna in water
- Juice of 2 large lemons
- 4 to 6 cloves of garlic, to taste
- 1/2 bunch of cilantro leaves (or parsley)
- 3 ounces of tahini
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- a few drops of tabasco sauce or 1 teaspoon of hot Aleppo pepper
METHOD:
- Drain the tuna; place in the bowl of a food processor. Add all the other ingredients and process till creamy; adjust seasoning and serve with crackers or pita chips.

That’s a nice good looking hummus. I always thing of hummus as something made with garbanzo beans. Cool idea 🙂

Wow, that looks great. Fantastic presentation for a simple idea. I’ll try some tahini in a fish pate next time I make one.

Your tuna hummus made me think of my husband, because I know how much he’d love this. I really like how you shaped it into a fish 😀
Have a great weekend.

This tuna hummus sounds fantastic, also the squash hummus. I am on the hunt for tahini as from tomorrow. Otherwise I will have to get it from the UK. Thanks for these Diane

When I was a child my mother did a very similar ‘fish’ mashing potatoes, tuna and majonese. I loved it although now I probably won’t eat it.. This sounds like a more grown up version of it.
