Tuna Lemon-Aioli Bruschetta

24 Augby Amy15

Tuna Lemon Aioli Bruschetta is a gourmet appetizer that is sure to impress. A bit spicy, a bit tangy, a lot delicious.

Tuna Lemon Aioli Bruschetta Recipe | ahealthylifeforme.com

Do you ever look at a dish you order in a restaurant and think that it would be too much trouble to recreate?  I do it.

If it looks like the work won’t be worth the reward I turn a cold shoulder to the dish and move on.  I saw this dish at one of mine and my families favorite restaurants here in Cincinnati, Boca.

My oldest son Jimmy was in town for a few weeks before he heads back to college in D.C and he ordered this as a first course.  He asked me a few days later if I could recreate it for him.  Always happy to make the guys in my family a food favorite, I looked up Boca’s menu on line and read the description of this dish and came up with a recipe as close as I could.

I really thought it was going to be fussy, but gave it a try anyway.  I was wrong this appetizer is really rather simple to pull together.  To say it is delicious is a big fat understatement.  It is truly a gourmet appetizer,  and you must give it a try.

Using a good quality tuna is key here.   Just a little FYI, the tuna looks like it won’t be enough, but it goes a long way.

Oh and don’t add salt to this dish, the capers are salty enough that you don’t need it.

    I am famous for recreating recipes that I have at restaurants. So much cheaper and you create something amazing by putting your own twist on it 🙂
