Ingredients

2 small white onions
1½ teaspoon mustard
2 small garlic cloves
3 small pickles
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
2 cans tuna packed in olive oil ideally
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

If using tuna packed in water then open the canned tuna and drain the water. If using canned tuna packed in olive oil then you don't need to drain it.
Place the pickles, onions, garlic and mustard in the food process and process into smaller chunks.
Add all the rest of the ingredients into a food processor and process until you have a smooth tuna pate. If it is too dense you can add more olive oil.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Maybe more salt, maybe more lemon juice. This will depend on the tuna, the pickles and the mustard you have used.
Serve with crackers, on freshly baked bread or crudite.
