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

Directions

Step 1

Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Spread a generous layer of the almond cream onto each slice of toasted bread.

Step 6

Top each slice with flaked tuna and garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of optional crushed red pepper flakes for added heat.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Tuna and Almond Cream Toast!
