Directions

  1. Arrange bread in a large baking dish. Pour milk over bread, allow to soak until bread is soggy. Remove bread and squeeze excess moisture from the bread. Discard milk.

  2. Whisk anchovy paste with eggs in a bowl until dissolved.

  3. Crumble tuna and moistened bread together in a large bowl. Add the egg mixture, parsley, capers, and Parmesan cheese, knead together until evenly blended and reasonably firm. Wrap the mixture in a clean cotton dishtowel and roll it up tightly, securing the two ends with string or elastic bands.

  4. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bundled tuna loaf in boiling water for 40 minutes, drain. Chill in refrigerator until cold before unwrapping and slicing to serve.
