Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 medium onion preferably sweet peeled and sliced in thin rings
1 cup dry cannellini beans cooked or 3 cups canned cannellini beans, drained
Salt
1 7-ounce can imported tuna packed in olive oil
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or to taste
1 tablespoon good quality red-wine vinegar, or to taste
Coarsely ground fresh black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place onion rings in a bowl, cover with cold water and squeeze them with your hands seven or eight times to release a slightly milky liquid into the water (in the process the onion becomes milder). Drain onion rings, replace in the bowl and re-cover with water. Repeat this procedure two or three times. Before using the onions, gather them tightly in your hand to squeeze out all excess moisture.
  • Put the beans and onion in a serving bowl, sprinkle liberally with salt and toss.
  • Drain the tuna, and add it to the bowl, breaking it into large flakes with a fork.
  • Pour on enough olive oil to coat the mixture well, add a dash of vinegar and a generous amount of pepper. Toss thoroughly and check for seasoning; then serve.
