Hard boiled eggs!!! Of course that's another great candidate for partnering with tonnato sauce. I'll be trying that sooner than later.....

I love the “tomato tonnato” that Erickson recommends! Been seeing that at a lot of restaurants and it’s a favorite to make at home.

Love seeing so many takes on tonnato! That silky, savory sauce has a way of transforming anything it touches—whetherveal, roasted vegetables, or even eggs. Fascinating to see how different cookbooks / authors interpret it. Definitely bookmarking this for my next kitchen experiment!

Tonnato sauce is one of my favorite go-to quick dinners, especially since I ordered a case of locally caught and processed West Coast albacore—mine was ordered direct from Oregon fisherman Rick Goché's brand, Sacred Sea, from his boat, the Peso II. We love a tonnato mixed with a pound of cooked pasta, or I've added seasonal greens like raab, kale or even radicchio to the mix, or instead of lemon I've used some of my preserved Meyer lemons chopped fine. Crushed hazelnuts or walnuts are awesome, too, and I've even substituted a tin of anchovies for the tuna. Versatile and simple to make from pantry items—what's not to love?

Mmmmmm, so many delicious possibilities!!! Bob's not a canned tuna fan but he did really like this sauce. I'll be working it in more regularly now too.
