Ingredients:

2     cans          tuna in olive oil - (6 1/2 oz ea)
4     cups          stale bread chunks
4                   shallots
1     can           anchovies in olive oil - (4 oz)
                    cut into small pieces, oil reserved
1/2   cup           finely-chopped oil-cured black olives
1/2   cup           extra-virgin olive oil
1     tablespoon    capers in brine
1     tablespoon    minced fresh oregano
                    = (or 1 tspn dried oregano)
                    Fine sea salt
1/2   teaspoon      coarsely-ground black pepper
1                   lemon
1                   orange

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Drain the tuna, reserving the olive oil. Place the tuna in a small bowl, flake it with a fork, and set aside.
Fill a large bowl with cool water. Quickly dip the bread chunks into the water to moisten them. Squeeze the bread dry and crumble it onto a large serving platter.
In a medium bowl, mix the shallots, anchovies and their oil, the tuna oil, olives, 1/3 cup of the extra-virgin oil, the capers, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix in the tuna. Pour this mixture over the bread and toss to combine well. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top.
Arrange the lemon and orange slices around the edges of the platter, overlapping them slightly. Cover the platter tightly with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours before serving. (Or refrigerate for longer, but bring to room temperature before serving.)
This recipe yields ?? servings.
