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.

Wow – this is terrific. I was trying to find something that would come close to a tahini tuna dip we had at a Lebanese place in Spain. This easily matches it! Made it with only one change – used Italian tuna in oil, to be a little more decadent. Make this!

@monikanyc Oh, fantastic! Glad you could find a use for it. Actually, there is a well-known tuna recipe using tahini dressing and made with canned tuna called tagen in Lebanon, where the tuna just gets smothered with the tahini dressing and some fried onion slices without getting mashed-up.
