About Vitello tonnato
Vitello Tonnato is a classic dish from Northern Italian cuisine, often served as an appetizer or light main course. It features thinly sliced, poached veal topped with a creamy, flavorful sauce made from tuna, capers, anchovies, olive oil, egg yolk, and lemon juice. This dish is traditionally served chilled, making it a refreshing and unique option. Nutritionally, Vitello Tonnato offers a good source of lean protein from both veal and tuna. Olive oil in the sauce provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while capers, anchovies, and lemon contribute antioxidants and vibrant flavors. However, the richness of the creamy sauce and the sodium content from anchovies and capers can make it a heavier dish, so portion control is important. Its balance of protein, fats, and Mediterranean ingredients makes Vitello Tonnato a delicious and nutrient-dense choice when enjoyed in moderation.
