Tuna nicoise sandwich
Packed with goodness, colour and flavour, this sandwich was inspired by my favourite Summer salad, Salade Niçoise.
- Serving: Makes four sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2 cans tuna in sunflower oil, drained and broken up into small chunks
- 4 anchovy fillets, roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons capers, rinsed, dried and roughly chopped
- 1 heaped tablespoon good quality mayonnaise
- 4 grinds of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 loaf of brown or white Genius Gluten Free Bread
- 55g/2oz good quality unsalted butter for spreading
- 1 heaped tablespoon of stoned and roughly chopped black Kalamata olives
- 2 ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 4 medium hard boiled eggs, shelled and sliced
- 1/2 a peeled and thinly sliced red onion
- 1 handful of baby salad leaves
Method
- In a bowl, mix together the tuna, anchovies, capers, mayonnaise and black pepper.
- Cut 8 slices of Genius bread and lightly butter.
- For each sandwich, spread 1 tablespoon of tuna mix onto the bottom slice of bread.
- Sprinkle the tuna with some chopped black olives. Arrange the tomato slices on top, followed by the sliced egg and a sprinkling of red onion. Lastly cover the filling with baby salad leaves and place the second slice of bread on top.
- Slice the sandwiches on the diagonal and enjoy!
