Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (sourdough or whole-grain)
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna in olive oil
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons Optional: crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
Prepare the almond cream: soak the raw almonds in hot water for 5 minutes, then drain and remove their skins. This step ensures a smoother cream.
Add the skinned almonds, garlic clove, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and 2 tablespoons of water to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water (a teaspoon at a time) if necessary to achieve a spreadable consistency.
Open the canned tuna, drain any excess oil, and flake the tuna into small pieces using a fork. Season with black pepper and mix gently.
Spread a generous layer of the almond cream onto each slice of toasted bread.
Top each slice with flaked tuna and garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of optional crushed red pepper flakes for added heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Tuna and Almond Cream Toast!
