Recipe - Tonno e Fagioli (tuna and bean salad)

Serves - 2 | Prepare - 15 mins | Level - Beginner

What you’ll need

• 1 Tin cannellini beans rinsed and drained

• 1 Tin tuna in oil

• 1 Red onion finely sliced

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

• Vinegar (not balsamic)

• 1 tsp of sugar

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• A lemon - 1/2 and juiced

• salt and pepper to taste

Method

Step 1

Place your finely sliced onions in a bowl, cover with vinegar, add 1 tsp of sugar and a little water. Allow the onions to soak in the liquid for 10 mins.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the rinsed and drained Cannellini beans, the tuna (adding 1 tbsp of the oil from the tin), the lemon juice, the chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Once the onions are ready (they turn a bright purple colour) add them to the tuna and beans along with another 2 tbsp of Olive oil, mix everything together. I like to serve mine with a sliced tomato and some crusty bread to mop up the dressing.
