Ingredients -  
   

1 (6-ounce) can Water-Packed Tuna
1/3 cup minced Red Onion
3 tablespoons chopped Fresh Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley
2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon chopped Fresh Thyme, (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
1 clove Garlic, peeled
1 (15-ounce) can Cannellini Beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chopped Oil-Packed Dried Tomatoes, drained
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Ground Pepper
20 thin slices crusty French or Italian Bread, cut diagonally

 
   
Preparation:  
   

In small bowl, flake tuna with fork. Stir in remaining ingredients. Set aside.
With food processor running, drop garlic through feed tube and process until chopped. Add beans; process until smooth. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper; pulse just to mix. Scrape into small bowl.

Heat broiler. Arrange bread slices in single layer on cookie sheets. Broil 1 to 3 minutes, or until lightly toasted.

Spread each toast with bean purée, then spoon on some tuna mixture.
