Ftira

Ingredients

• 1 round Maltese ftira bread (or crusty sourdough), halved
• 1/2 cup Kunserva (Maltese sun-dried tomato paste)
• 1 can tuna in oil, drained
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 10 black olives, pitted
• 2 tbsp capers
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1Slice the ftira bread horizontally and lightly toast the cut sides if desired.
2. 2Spread the kunserva tomato paste generously over both halves.
3. 3Layer the flaked tuna, sliced onion, tomatoes, olives and capers over the base.
4. 4Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. 5Close the sandwich with the top half of the bread and press down firmly.
6. 6Wrap tightly and let it sit for 10-15 minutes so the flavors meld and the bread absorbs the oil.
