Tuna Provencale on a Baguette image

I found this in a very worn and old copy of Readers Digest in a hospital waiting room. It had so many pages missing that I didn't think they would miss one more *blush*. The sandwich is wonderful but it's not a quick make.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped
5 black olives, pitted and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces baguette, about 24 in long
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion
1 large green pepper, sliced
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon anchovy paste

Steps:

  • Mix tomatoes, olives and salt in a medium bowl and let stand until juicy, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut bread almost in half lengthwise. Open like a book, being careful not to separate bread. Pull our about 1/2 a cup of soft bread center.
  • Using 1/2 TBS of oil, brush the cut sides on the bread, then spread on tomato mixture and any juices that have collected in the bowl.
  • Cut onion in half through stem end, then crosswise into thin semi-circles.
  • Layer onion, green pepper slices and tuna over tomato mixture.
  • Whisk vinegar, garlic, anchovy paste and remaining oil together and drizzle over tuna.
  • Wrap stuffed loaf tightly in plastic wrap and weigh it down with a heavy skillet and let stand at room temp till ingredients have soaked into the bread, about 30 minutes.
  • Cut diagonally into 4 sandwiches.

The tuna was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would cook the tuna for less time next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more herbs and spices next time.
