Directions:

1. First, let’s make the tuna filling. Open the tuna cans and drain them from the brine/oil. Place them in a bowl then add the olives, capers, beans, giardiniera, spring onion, and sundried tomatoes.

2. Slice a large Maltese ftira in half and spread the pesto on one side, and the tomato paste on the other.

3. Drizzle both sides with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I’m using a chili pepper-infused one.

4. Place some crunchy lettuce on the ftira and top it off with abundant tuna filling.

5. Finish with some fresh Gozo cheese, finely sliced shallot and seasoning.

6. Cut and serve.

7. You can enjoy it by itself or serve it with chips or crisps.
