Fish Paste
Fish Paste
I was in the Algarve several years ago - but when I was there I found this gorgeous type of fish paste, It was in small tin containers and about four in a pack - sorry I dont know the name!!
But I remember it being everywhere,

Cannot remember the name either, but there's plenty of different sorts in Intermarche. Facing the checkouts as you come in, you'll find them in the 3rd aisle on the left. Personally I thought they were great to begin with, but have gone off it now. I think there is very little actual fish in them - lots of other "stuff" tho
I make my own tuna paste, based on the ingredients list of those little packages you often get with the "cover" at restaurants. Strangely enough, like Richard I seldom eat it there either. But when I serve it to friends as an appetizer here at home, they all rave about it, and I must admit I like it much better too.
Here is the recipe, all quantities are approx., you'll have to experiment according to your own taste:
2 cans Tuna,
1 - 2 Tblsp. Tomato Paste
1 Tblsp. Olive Oil
1 teasp. lemon juice
1 teasp. sugar
1 good dash ketchup
salt, pepper, cayenne pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients till smooth in a food processor or with a hand-mixer.
This makes quite a big batch, but it freezes quite well too.
Serve with baguette or crackers as an appetizer.
