One of my go-to summer recipes at the beach is a simple Italian salad of canned beans and tuna. Here I have added a few more ingredients and served it with olive and feta barbecue flatbreads. There are no anchovies in this recipe, but you could add them if you are a fan.
Instructions
1. | Put the onion in a bowl and cover with cold water. |
2. | Let sit for at least 15 minutes, then drain and dry well. |
3. | Place the tuna, cannellini and borlotti beans, red onion, parsley, chilli and capers in a serving bowl. |
4. | Add the lemon juice and olive oil and toss gently to combine. |
5. | Season to taste with salt and pepper. |
6. | Serve with black olive & feta barbecue bread. |
7. | BLACK OLIVE & FETA BARBECUE BREAD |
8. | In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. |
9. | Crumble the feta into another bowl and mash together with the yoghurt and olives. |
10. | Add this to the flour and knead with your hands to form a soft dough, adding a little water if you need to. |
11. | Divide into 12 pieces. |
12. | Flatten and shape each into a roughly 15cm x 10cm flatbread. |
13. | Heat a barbecue or grill plate to medium/hot. |
14. | Brush the flatbreads liberally with oil and grill for 3 minutes on each side until browned and raised. |
