Tuna and Potato Salami
This is a Marcella Hazan recipe that we made over 390 years ago for the first time, but haven't made in at least a decade until just recently. It is simple, not much to look at, but delicious. Use tuna in oil if you can get it.
1 medium potato
14 oz. tuna in oil
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
1 egg plus 1 egg white
salt and pepper to taste
Poaching Broth
1/2 onion sliced
1 stalk celery
1 carrot
handful of parseley
1 c white wine
salt
Aoili
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1/2 lemon zested and squeezed
2 Tbs. crushed and chopped capers
splash of fish sauce or 1/2 anchovy shredded
sliced black olives
salt and pepper to taste
Boil the potato until soft through and rice through a potato ricer. Flake the tuna, and add the egg, cheese, salt, and pepper. Divide into 2 equal amounts and form into logs.
Moisten 2 pieces of cheesecloth to wrap up the tuna logs (about 1/4 of a store bought package of cheesecloth for each log).
Roll up and tie the ends with twine.
Put in the poaching broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, then drain and cool the logs in the fridge. Best after 24 hours.
Unroll and discard cheesecloth. Slice 1/4-1/2 inch and top with the mayo sauce.
