Mediterranean-Style Tuna and Olive Sandwich image

A sandwich that is served at the small cafes in the Mediterranean --- although they serve it mixed with olive oil I have listed mayonnaise I think you will enjoy it better that way, also many cafes use fresh cooked tuna, I have listed canned you may of coarse use the fresh ---the bread slices may be lightly toasted in a skillet if desired.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 unsliced French baguette (see my Kittencal's French Bread/Baguette (Kitchen Aid Mixer Stand Mixer)
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
sliced tomatoes (optional)
green leaf lettuce
1/3 cup mayonnaise (can use more)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
2 (6 ounce) cans light tuna in olive oil, drained
1/2 cup chopped bottled roasted red pepper
8 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped coarsely (or use other brine-cured olives)
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onions
1 celery rib, diced
salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl place chopped roasted red peppers, Kalamata olives, onion and celery; toss to combine; add in the tuna and gently toss leaving the tuna in small chunks.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the mayo with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and minced garlic; add to the tuna mixture and toss gently to combine then season with salt and pepper (at this point you may cover and refrigerate for upt to 24 hours).
  • Using a serrated knife slice the baguette into 4 even pieces, then slice each piece in half.
  • Brush the sides of the bread with olive oil then sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper (you may lightly toast the sliced part of the bread in a skillet if desired).
  • Place lettuce leaves onto each bottom half of bread slice, then pile/divide the tuna mixture over the lettuce, if desired lay tomato slices over the tuna.
  • Top each with a slice of bread.
