Ingredients

  • up to 12 thin slices French bread (depending on how many you want to make in one go)
  • 410g can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 150g can tuna in olive oil, drained and oil reserved
  • handful parsley leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1-2 tomatoes, sliced (depending on how many you're making)
  • 1 small red onion, finely sliced
  • olive oil for drizzling

Method

  • STEP 1

    Toast as many slices of French bread as you need. Meanwhile, lightly mash the beans. Pour 2 tbsp of tuna oil over the beans, then flake in the tuna. Gently mix in the parsley, and season to taste.

  • STEP 2

    When the toast is ready, drizzle it with a bit of the tuna oil. Top the toast with a slice of tomato and top the tomato with a spoonful of bean mix. Scatter over the sliced onion. (Any extra bean mix will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.) Drizzle the toasts with a little more oil (use olive oil if you run out of tuna oil) and serve.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKING IT DIFFERENT

For a veggie version, simply mash the beans with a little olive oil.

Make it meaty – top the tomatoes with a slice of salami and top that with the beans.

Try fresh coriander, dill or chives in place of parsley leaves.
