I'm a big fan of canned tuna, whether it's on its own, on bread, or in salads. As soon as I came across this recipe, I knew I had to try it. It's simple and quick to prepare. I used frozen pre-cooked chickpeas (I typically make a large batch and freeze some for later), or you can use canned chickpeas in water, similar to the Hummus recipe.
This dish features another great use for dried tomatoes in oil. As it's still the season for tomatoes, don't forget to prepare them as they'll be a great ingredient to have all year round. If you don't have dried tomatoes, you can substitute with a teaspoon of tomato paste or simply omit them.
Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or use an immersion blender to mix.
Blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. Adjust with more lemon, salt, and pepper to taste.
Transfer the pate to a bowl, smooth the surface, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
It's ready to serve as a flavorful appetizer or as a breakfast spread. Enjoy!
Bon appétit!
