Tuna Crostini's

This is so easy!

Tuna Crostini's


1 baguette or italian bread
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese


In a mixing bowl:
2 (6-ounce) cans white meat tuna packed in olive oil
1/4 cup capers, drained
1 large shallot, chopped (or a leak)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 T fresh lemon juice
1/4 C watercress (chop it if you have it)
2 T chopped fresh parsley leaves
15 to 20 grinds of black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Slice baguette (or italian bread) into slices and place on a baking sheet. Bake until toasted and LITE golden, then pull out and sprinkle parm over each piece and put back into oven.

Put back into oven and cook until cheese is melted.
This all takes less than 10 minutes.

Put all remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix up - most of the time I do this with my hands so I don't crush the tuna, I just toss it together.

Put tuna mixture on top of each toasted baguette slice and some people like chopped bermuda onion as a garnish.
