1 (5 to 6-ounce) can tuna, in oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Crostini, recipe follows

1 baguette

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Second hit in a row for the Football Fiesta episode (last week, black bean hummus, next week Crispy Quesadillas). I DOUBLED the recipe just because I did the same with the hummus after it turned out to be such a surprise. Sure enough, this was just as unique & amazing. After this, I really do believe Melissa's husband could eat an entire bowl at a time, just like she said. I sure would, but had to share with friends P.S. I stuck with the recipe despite reading other reviews that tweaked it. The only thing, I backed off the capers just a little.
