Recipe by Sharon Sanders, Relish Good Food Fast, September 2006.
Ingredients:
2 italian rolls
1 (6 ounce) can tuna in olive oil, undrained
2 tablespoons red onions, minced
2 tablespoons celery, minced
1 tablespoon capers, drained, rinsed and minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
red pepper flakes
1 cup baby spinach leaves
Directions:
1. Slice rolls in half through the middle. Pick out some of the bread from top and bottom halves to create a slight depression.
2. Combine tuna, onion, celery, capers, lemon juice and a pinch of red pepper flakes; mix well.
3. Spoon 1/2 tuna mixture onto each of the roll bottoms.
4. Cover with spinach and roll tops.
5. Top paninis with a bacon press or another platter with some heavy canned goods placed on top.
6. Let stand 15 minutes for flavors to blend.
7. Note: If tuna canned in olive oil is not available, replace it with 1 6 oz. can solid light tuna in water, drained, and add 2 T extra-virgin olive oil.
