Sicilian tuna sandwich
Instructions:
- This sandwich is as much about the tuna as
anything else. The salad is pretty classic, made
with celery, scallions, and pickles, but when
you make it with imported Italian tuna, it
takes on a new dimension you may not have
experienced. Sure, you can make this with any
canned tuna you have in the cupboard, but
once you taste the imported Italian tuna,
which is far richer than other types, you will
recognize it for the treat it is!
- 8 slices whole-grain bread
- 1 fennel bulb, trimmed and shaved
- ¼ cup drained capers, rinsed
- Twelve ½-inch-thick tomato slices
- 8 leaves romaine lettuce, ribs removed and leaves halved
- 3 cups Tuna Salad
- Lightly toast the bread slices.
- Place a slice of bread on each of 4 serving plates. On each slice, lay a quarter of the shaved fennel, 1 tablespoon of capers, 3 tomato slices, and 2 romaine leaves.
- Top with equal amounts of the Tuna Salad and then the remaining slices of bread. Press down gently and then cut each sandwich in half and serve.
