Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 large eggs
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 Italian rolls or other soft rolls, halved
1 medium bunch arugula or 2 cups spring salad mix
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup jarred artichoke hearts, well drained and sliced
2 6-ounce cans oil-packed tuna
4 to 8 anchovy fillets, drained (optional)
1/2 cup nicoise or kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
4 medium radishes, thinly sliced

Steps:

Place the eggs in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and cool in a bowl of cold water.
Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Put the rolls cut-side up on a work surface and lightly drizzle with a quarter of the dressing. Place the arugula on the roll bottoms. Top with the sliced tomato, onion and artichokes. Season with salt and drizzle with another quarter of the dressing.
Drain the tuna, but leave lightly coated with oil. Toss the tuna in the remaining dressing, then divide among the sandwiches. Peel and thinly slice the hard-boiled eggs and layer the slices over the tuna. Top with the anchovy fillets, if desired, then the olives and radishes. Cover with the roll tops, pressing gently but firmly. Wrap the sandwiches in plastic wrap and place a skillet on top to weigh them down; set aside for at least 15 minutes so the bread absorbs the flavors.

BRAUOTERTA - ICELANDIC STYLE SANDWICH LOAF: SHRIMP

Brauoterta - Icelandic Style Sandwich Loaf: Shrimp image

Sandwich loaves, or 'bread cakes' as they are called in Iceland, are an enduring presence at Icelandic celebrations where cakes are served. While the fillings have changed over the years and they don't use half as much mayonnaise in them as once was the case, yet they continue to be a vehicle for cooks to display their talents with garnish, and are a savory palate cleanser in between nibbles of all the sweet cakes usually served at traditional birthday parties. See note at end of recipe regarding the bread that is used. Recipe is from icecook.blogspot.com. Posted for ZWT9.

Time 20m

Yield 1 loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups mayonnaise (Icelandic or Kewpie, see note)
3/4 cup sour cream
4 eggs, hard-boiled, peeled and mashed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 cup red bell pepper, finely minced
1/2 lb small shrimp, cooked and shelled
pepper, to taste
3 slices white bread (see note)
sour cream (to garnish)
mayonnaise (to garnish)
shrimp, for garnish

Steps:

Mix the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and well-blended. Add the bell pepper, mashed eggs, and garlic powder. Mix well. Add the shrimp and stir to combine. Season to taste with black pepper.
Place a layer of bread on the serving plate or tray and spread half the filling over it. Top with another slice of bread and spread the remaining filling. Top with the third slice of bread.
Mix a small amount of mayonnaise and sour cream, then smooth a thin layer evenly over the loaf, both top and sides. Decorate to your liking with the garnish ingredients, which can include large shrimps, egg slices and vegetables, e.g. bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, chopped parsley.
NOTE ON BREAD: The bread is basically a pan-baked loaf of white sandwich bread that has been sliced lengthwise. The crusts are removed, leaving between 4 and 6 long slices of bread. This is probably not available at the bakery, but you could buy or make a whole unsliced loaf and slice it yourself.
NOTE ON MAYO: Icelandic mayo is not vinegary tart and also not as runny as American style mayo. Buy Icelandic, or a close approximation is Kewpie brand mayo, easily found in Oriental stores.
