Keto Tonnato and it kind of reminds me of the song; you say Potato, I say Potahto, you say Tomato, I say Tomahto…. Let’s call the whole thing off. Only we are not calling the whole thing off because this Keto Tonnato Sauce is literally to die for good. It was and is, traditionally served with veal in Europe (Italy originally)) but here in the good old USA we do not have much veal to speak of anymore as the veal police swept through and decided we shouldn’t be killing baby cows anymore. But the good news is that it is good with lots of other foods. It is really kinda, sorta like a “tuna mayo” if you will. The absolute success to any Keto Tonnato is using a good quality Tuna, packed in real olive oil, and I have shown two pictures of what I use. I have also shown it with veal but it is certainly not limited to it. Notably with chicken or pork scallopini, thinly cut pieces of either tenderloin or loin of pork, vegetables of all kinds which might include broccolini & green beans, and used as a dip with a crudités. When all else fails you can just take a spoon to it and…eat it.
