Terrine Of Potatoes And Tuna

Directions

1. In a saucepan, cover the potatoes with cool salted water and bring to a boil. Partially cover and cook for 15 min, or possibly till tender. Drain and mash the potatoes with an old-fashioned masher, ricer, or possibly through a strainer. Beat in the warm lowfat milk. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Char the red pepper over a burner. Put it in a plastic bag and set aside to cold. Then peel and cut into 1/4-inch cubes. Set aside.
3. Drain the tuna and process for 1 min in the food processor.
4. Combine the mashed potatoes, tuna, and mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly. Mix in the red pepper. Taste and correct seasonings.
5. Put the mix in the prepared mold and chill till cool or possibly overnight.
6. Decorate the top with capers. Serve with more capers, gherkins, and olives on the side.
7. NOTE: Try this for summer picnics, informal buffets, lunch, cocktails, or possibly as a filling for sandwiches. It's absolutely delicious and easy to make!
8. The word terrine applies to both the dish and its contents. The terrine is served in the dish, without unmolding. There are pretty porcelain, terra cotta, and enameled cast-iron terrrines on the market, but it is not necessary to own one to make this dish-a glass loaf pan works fine. This terrine is looser in texture than a country pate'. It will be easier to scoop out the terrine with a spoon rather than trying to cut it in slices.
