Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet (if toasting)
  • Oven or toaster (for toasting bread)

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For the Bruschetta:
  • 1 baguette or ciabatta loaf
  • 1 can 6 oz of tuna packed in olive oil, drained
  • 1 small red onion finely chopped
  • 1-2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon of capers rinsed and chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley or basil chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions
  • Prep the Bread:
  • Slice the baguette or ciabatta into ½ inch thick slices. Lay them on a baking sheet.
  • Toast the Bread (Optional):
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toast the slices for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp. If you prefer, you can also use a toaster.
  • Prepare the Tuna Mixture:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped red onion, lemon juice, capers (if using), and chopped parsley or basil. Mix gently to combine.
  • Season:
  • Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. You can add more lemon juice for extra acidity if desired.
  • Assemble the Bruschetta:
  • Once the bread is toasted, place the slices on a serving platter. Spoon the tuna mixture generously onto each slice.
  • Drizzle:
  • Finish with a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over the topped bruschetta.
  • Let it Stand:
  • Allow the bruschetta to stand for about 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
  • Variations
  • Vegetarian Option: Replace the tuna with mashed avocado or a bean spread for a delicious plant-based alternative.
  • Spicy Kick: Add finely chopped chili or red pepper flakes to the tuna mixture for a bit of heat.
  • Different Proteins: Try smoked salmon or shredded chicken for different flavors.
