Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 teaspoons chopped anchovy fillet
1 teaspoon capers (preferably salt-packed), rinsed, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
1 1/4 cups Niçoise olives, pitted, divided
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for brushing and drizzling
1 tablespoon (packed) chopped fresh basil plus 24 whole leaves for garnish
24 basil leaves
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
6 6-inch-long pieces ficelle or narrow baguette, split horizontally in half
6 thin prosciutto slices
2 8-ounce balls fresh mozzarella cheese, drained, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Combine first 5 ingredients in mortar; mash with pestle to paste. Add 1 cup olives and mash to coarse paste. Chop remaining 1/4 cup olives and stir into mixture. Mix in 1/4 cup olive oil, chopped basil, and lemon juice. Season tapenade with pepper. (Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Brush cut sides of ficelle with additional olive oil. Place 1 prosciutto slice on bottom half of each ficelle, then top with mozzarella slices, dividing equally. Spoon tapenade over each. Sprinkle with pepper; drizzle lightly with olive oil. Garnish with basil leaves. Cover with top halves of ficelle.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sandwich turned out really dry. I think I overcooked the chicken.

The sandwich was easy to make, but the flavors were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I wasn't a fan of the tapenade. I thought it was too salty.

I wasn't sure about the tapenade at first, but it really makes the sandwich. It adds a nice salty and savory flavor.
