Steps
Steps
- 1Slice the onion very thinly and steep it in the vinegar with a pinch of salt for 20 minutes.
- 2Drain and rinse the beans gently — they break easily — and dry them well.
- 3Drain the tuna but keep a spoonful of its oil, which carries a lot of the flavour.
- 4Combine the beans, celery and drained onion in a bowl.
- 5Dress with the olive oil, the reserved tuna oil, the lemon juice and plenty of black pepper. Toss carefully.
- 6Flake the tuna over the top in large pieces and fold through only once or twice — the point is chunks, not paste.
- 7Add the parsley and rest 15 minutes at room temperature before serving with the bread.
