Ingredients
- 1 can (7 ounces or 200 grams) imported olive oil-packed tuna, drained
- 1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- Sea salt, preferably gray salt, and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Put the tuna in a food processor and pulse to break up the fish. With the machine running, add the butter, cream, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce and blend until smooth. Then stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the processor bowl. Add the lemon juice and pulse again. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and blend again. Check the seasoning.
Serve at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. If refrigerated, return the spuma to room temperature before serving.

This is a terrific, refreshing first course to serve during the height of tomato season. I served it at a dinner party and received rave reviews.
You must follow this recipe EXACTLY, including using the ingredients specifically called for. Using oil-packed, imported (Italian or Spanish tuna is imperative. If you substitute using water-packed domestic tuna, non-heirloom tomatoes, or use something other than cream, the taste and especially the texture will be compromised. The only substitution I would recommend (and it's hardly considered a "sub" is using white balsamic vinegar, which will make the Spuma a bit lighter in color.
A great, original recipe that's simple and easy to prepare ahead of time.

This is a recipe? More like a bad experiment. The soy made it brown colored and my husband looked in the refrigerator, he asked "it is cat food"?
