Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound fresh tuna steak 1 1/2 inches thick
2 12-inch French breads, 2 to 3 inches wide
1 large clove garlic, peeled and halved
4 tablespoons good-quality mayonnaise
1 tablespoon black-olive paste
2 ripe tomatoes
2 heads Bibb lettuce, well-rinsed and dried

Steps:

  • Beat the lemon juice, anchovy paste and olive oil together and brush this mixture on both sides of the tuna. Preheat a grill or broiler to very hot. Grill or broil the seasoned tuna briefly, two minutes or so on each side, enough to sear the outside but keep the center very rare.
  • Slice the breads in half horizontally as if making hero sandwiches. Lightly toast the cut sides under the broiler or on the grill, then rub them with the cut sides of the garlic.
  • Mix the mayonnaise with the olive paste and spread on the bread. Slice the tuna one-half inch thick and arrange the slices on two of the bread halves. Top with tomato slices. Remove cores from lettuce heads and arrange leaves over the tomatoes, then cover with the remaining bread. Cut each sandwich in half and serve.

I'm not a fan of nicoise olives. I think they're too salty.

The sandwiches were falling apart when I tried to eat them. I think I used too much mayonnaise.

I had a hard time finding all of the ingredients for this recipe. I ended up having to substitute a few things.

These sandwiches were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I've never made a tuna nicoise sandwich before, but this recipe made it easy. I'll definitely be making it again.

These sandwiches are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few hard-boiled eggs and green beans in my fridge, so this is a go-to recipe for me.

I'm not a huge fan of tuna, but I really enjoyed these sandwiches. The dressing is what really makes them.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it! The sandwiches are delicious and perfect for a picnic or potluck.

I love the combination of flavors and textures in this sandwich. The tuna is flaky, the eggs are creamy, and the vegetables add a nice crunch.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy lunch. I usually make it with canned tuna, but I've also used fresh tuna when I have it on hand. Both are delicious.

These tuna nicoise sandwiches were a hit at my last party! I love how easy they are to make and how delicious they are. The combination of tuna, hard-boiled eggs, green beans, potatoes, and tomatoes is perfect.
