Tuna (Or Sardine) And Olive Paste

1. In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine all the ingredients.

2. Process to form a thick paste, adding additional oil if necessary to form a smooth puree.

3. Taste for seasoning.

4. The spread can be stored, covered and refrigerated, for up to 1 week.

5. Variation: Along the same lines, prepare a more pungent sardine-based spread, or sardinade, substituting a 3 3/4 ounce can of best-quality sardines cured in olive oil for the canned tuna.
