Tuna Robiola Balls with Yogurt Ginger Sauce

Ingredients for 6 persons

100 g tuna in oil, drained
4-5 capers, rinsed
4 tablespoons grated parmesan
salt and pepper to taste
4-5 tablespoons breadcrumbs, as needed
chopped mint to taste
2 anchovy fillets in oil
1 egg
100 g Nonno Nanni Robiola
extra virgin olive oil, as needed

For the Yogurt Ginger Sauce
1 Greek yogurt
zest and juice of half a lemon
salt and pepper to taste
ground ginger to taste

Nonno Nanni Robiola is a fresh cheese that is extremely easy to spread and has an intense, pleasant taste.

Method

In a bowl, combine the Nonna Nanni Robiola, the tuna, which has been drained well and broken up into pieces, the egg and the grated parmesan. Add the capers and chopped anchovies, breadcrumbs, chopped mint, salt and pepper.
Combine all the ingredients well until you have a smooth mixture; if it is too soft, add breadcrumbs.
Use your hands to shape the mixture into small balls, preferably all the same size, and roll them in breadcrumbs. I decided to bake these, to avoid frying. Place them on a baking sheet with a little olive oil both under and on top of the balls. Bake in a 240°C oven set to broil for about 15 minutes, making sure to turn them halfway through the cooking time.
To make the yogurt ginger sauce, mix the Greek yogurt with lemon juice and zest in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and add grated ginger. Serve the balls warm with the sauce chilled.
