more tuna

[Guest guest]

Here's another tuna idea. I think it might be good on those cheese

cracker things someone talking about.

Getting tired of all the recipes yet? If anyone is looking for

something in particular..... let me know, i'll try to find it!!!

Serving Ideas : Accompany with thinly-sliced French bread or crackers.

NOTES : These crisp little herbed toast rounds are called crostini in

Italy where they are a favorite first course. They are normally enjoyed

with aperitifs such as Campari, Cynar, or vermouth.

The spread served with these toasts is usually a puree of savory

chicken livers, but here it is a tuna mixture.
