Pan Bagnat Sandwich with Tuna, Anchovies, and Parsley image

When you think about it, "Pan Bagnat" is just a fancy way of saying "the best of all possible summer sandwiches." Unlike the typical tuna on wheat, this Provençal classic only gets better as sits, making it just the thing for picnics, backyard suppers, and last-minute road trips. And its briny, garlicky flavors beat plain old mayo any day.

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 crusty baguette, ends trimmed off
Olive oil (for drizzling)
1 garlic clove, smashed
4 jarred anchovy fillets
1/4 cup thinly sliced onion
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1 (6-ounce) jar tuna fillets in olive oil, drained, flaked
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled, sliced
2 tablespoons pitted and halved Nicoise olives
1 medium ripe tomato, cored, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cut baguette in half crosswise with a serrated knife, then split each half lengthwise. Drizzle cut sides of bread with oil and rub with garlic. Arrange 2 anchovies on top half of each baguette.
  • Toss onion and vinegar in a medium bowl and season with 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Let stand 5 minutes. Add tuna and parsley and toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning. Pile tuna mixture on bottom half of each baguette. Top tuna mixture with eggs and olives.
  • Arrange tomato slices on top of anchovies and close sandwiches. Wrap sandwiches tightly in foil and place a heavy pot or skillet on top. Add a few heavy objects such as cans to weigh down pot and press down on sandwiches. Let sit at room temperature at least 40 minutes and up to 1 hour. Unwrap, slice each sandwich in half crosswise (if desired), and serve.
