PAN BAGNAT SANDWICH WITH TUNA, ANCHOVIES, AND PARSLEY



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.

PAN BAGNAT



Pan Bagnat image

The beauty of a pan bagnat: not only is it impressive and something different to share with fellow picnickers, it also wants to be made in advance. The longer it sits (up to 24 hours), the better it gets. The flavors marry, the oil and tomato juices mingle, the anchovies dissolve into the bread and all of it coalesces into a sophisticated whole that stays intact when you bite in. Pan bagnats can be a catchall for whatever vegetables are on hand: crisp hot and sweet peppers, fennel, cucumber and scallions. Even string beans, peas and fava beans can all work. The tuna itself is optional; some versions are ringed with just anchovies and sliced hard-cooked eggs. And at the time of year when wild salmon is in season, you could use some of the leftover cooked fish in place of tuna, which would make the sandwich even classier.

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 anchovy fillets, minced (optional)
1 very small garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 8-inch round crusty country loaf or small ciabatta, halved
1 Kirby cucumber or 1/2 regular cucumber
1 medium-size, ripe tomato, sliced
1/2 small red onion, sliced
1 jar (5 to 6 ounces) tuna packed in olive oil, drained
8 large basil leaves
2 tablespoons sliced pitted olives, preferably a mix of black and green
1 hard-cooked egg, peeled and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the optional anchovies, the garlic, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in oil, whisking constantly.
  • If using a country loaf, pull out some soft interior crumb to form a cavity. If using a ciabatta, you won't need to eliminate anything.
  • If using a Kirby cucumber, slice thinly. If using a regular cucumber, peel, halve lengthwise, and scoop out seeds from one half. Thinly slice seedless half. Add sliced cucumber to vinaigrette and toss well.
  • Spread half the cucumbers on bottom of bread. Top with tomato and onion slices, then with tuna, basil, olives and egg slices. Top egg with remaining cucumbers and vinaigrette. Cover with second bread half and firmly press sandwich together.
  • Wrap sandwich tightly in foil, waxed paper or plastic wrap, then place in a plastic bag. Put sandwich under a weight such as a cast-iron frying pan topped with a filled kettle, or have a child about 7 years old sit on it. Weight sandwich for 7 to 10 minutes, then flip and weight it for another 7 to 10 minutes (or as long as you can get the child to sit still). Unwrap, slice and serve immediately, or keep it wrapped for up to 8 hours before serving.
