Tuscan Tuna & White Bean Toast with Toasted Sunflower Seeds

Instructions

1. 01

   Toast the gluten-free bread until firm and golden.

2. 02

   While it toasts, heat a small dry skillet over medium heat. Add the sunflower seeds and toast 2 minutes, shaking the pan, until fragrant. Set aside.

3. 03

   In a small bowl, mash the white beans with a fork along with the olive oil, half of the lemon juice, half the salt, and the black pepper. Leave it rustic — some whole beans should remain.

4. 04

   Rub the cut side of the garlic clove firmly across the warm toast (this is the Tuscan fettunta technique — the toast acts like a microplane).

5. 05

   Spread the smashed white beans across the toast.

6. 06

   Flake the tuna in a separate bowl with the lemon zest and parsley, then mound it on top of the beans.

7. 07

   Scatter the toasted sunflower seeds across, finish with the remaining lemon juice, and serve.
