Tartine
This is an easy to make appetizer that can be a lot of fun to make with your children or grandchildren.
20 slices bread
The sauce:
1 9 oz. can tuna fish
3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. milk
1/2 Tbsp. capers preserved in vinegar
2 little Italian anchovies in olive oil
To decorate:
capers
pickles
pickled onions
small hot dog
black and green olives
mayonnaise
1. Blend the ingredients for the sauce with a hand blender.
2. Remove the crusts from the bread and cut the bread in half diagonally making triangles.
3. Spread the sauce evenly onto the bread.
4. Decorate the tartine first with mayonnaise on the borders. If you have mayonnaise in a tube it'll be easier otherwise you can use cake decorating tools to apply it.
5. Add some of the decorating ingredients to the tartine, mix and match the ingredients as you like.
6. This can be served immediately, but I usually refrigerate it for an hour or so beforehand.
I cut the bread into triangles, however any shape is fine. If you are making them with your kids try using cookie cutters to get different shapes. The sauce will make about twenty small slices of bread which makes forty pieces. This of course depends on how thick or thin you spread the sauce.
