FROM THE PANTRY: TUNA, WHITE BEAN AND OLIVE FLATBREAD PITAS

Even if your pantry is close to bare, you probably have the fixin's for these super-simple and special flatbreads. The combo of sun-dried tomatoes and vinegar gives the bean spread a tangy earthiness that goes great with the tuna-and-olive salad. It's a perfect big snack or small meal. Or try the spread on your favorite crackers for party appetizers.

From the Pantry: Tuna, White Bean and Olive Flatbread Pitas image

Steps:

  • Pulse the beans, 4 of the sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of the oil, 2 tablespoons water, vinegar, granulated garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until blended and semi-smooth.
  • Thinly slice the 2 remaining sun-dried tomatoes. Gently toss them with the tuna, olives, roasted red peppers, the 2 remaining tablespoons oil, red pepper flakes and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl, breaking up the tuna slightly.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush one side of the pitas with oil, lay the oiled side on the griddle and cook until lightly charred in spots, about 1 minute. Transfer, charred-side up, to serving plates.
  • Spread some of the bean mixture on each pita, and top with some of the tuna-olive salad. Drizzle each with oil, and sprinkle with black pepper.

One 15-ounce can white beans, strained and rinsed
6 sun-dried tomatoes
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing and drizzling
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt

1/2 cup pitted black and green olives, roughly chopped
