I love tuna salad and this Italian tuna salad has taken the regular to special. If you cannot find imported canned tuna in olive oil, just replace with tuna packed in olive oil. Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley |
3/4 cup black olives, pitted and chopped (such as gaeta, calamata and nicoise) |
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil |
4 anchovy fillets, minced (optional) |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
6 ounces snow peas |
2 (6 ounce) cans imported olive tuna packed in oil, drained (should read imported olive oil-packed tuna) |
4 crusty rolls, halved or 1 baguette, halved, four 6-inch slices |
1 small red onion, thinly sliced |
2 medium tomatoes, sliced 1/3-inch thick |
4 hard-cooked eggs, sliced 1/4-inch thick |
Directions:
1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Blanch the snow peas for 1 minute in a small pot of boiling water. Drain and rinse under cold water. Pat dry. Slice snow peas lengthwise into 1/4 strips and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive dressing.
3. Separate tuna with a fork in a medium bowl. Add 6 tablespoons of the dressing and toss.
4. Spread insides of the rolls or baguette pieces with the remaining dressing.
5. On the bottom halves, arrange snow peas, then onion, then tomatoes, tuna. Top tuna with sliced eggs.
6. Close sandwiches and serve.
