Rustic canapés

Preparation:

Preparation: Divide the four slices of homemade bread in half, arrange them on the oven plate and toast them at 200 degrees for about 10 minutes. Let the butter soften at room temperature, then spread it with a knife on the half slices of bread and line up the latter, as they are ready, on the work surface. Separate the leaves of the head of lettuce, choose the most beautiful and wash them for a long time to remove any traces of soil, then drain them, let them drain well and dry them. Peel the onion, soak it in a bowl full of cold water for a quarter of an hour, then dry it and cut it into thin rings; also thinly slice the gherkins. Spread a lettuce leaf on each slice of buttered bread, cover it with a few onion rings, a sliced gherkin, a slice of cooked ham and one of salami. Complete the canapés by placing a teaspoon of tomato ketchup in the center of each and serve.
