Marinated
Tuna Sandwiches
- 4 crusty hoagie or French
rolls
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, bruised
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 (2.25-ounce) can sliced black olives
2 perfectly ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 (6.5-ounce) cans white albacore tuna, drained
4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
Kosher or coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Tear off 4 sheets of plastic
wrap, each large enough to wrap a sandwich.
- Split open a hoagie roll
and lay open on each sheet. Sprinkle each roll half with 1/2
tablespoon of the olive oil. Rub the bread with the bruised garlic;
discard the garlic. Sprinkle each roll half with 1/2 tablespoon
red wine vinegar. On the bottom half of each hoagie roll layer
1/4 of the onion, olives, tomatoes, tuna and basil. Season with
salt and pepper. Place the top half of the hoagie roll on and
wrap each sandwich tightly in the plastic wrap.
- Let stand at room temperature
for 1 hour or refrigerate 2 or more hours before serving to allow
flavors to intensify and "marinate" the sandwich.
Makes 4 sandwiches.
Cook's Tip: You can substitute
Kalamata olives for the black olives for even more tangy taste
pizzazz!
