PAN BAGNA (PROVENCAL STUFFED SANDWICH LOAF)
Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the olives, red peppers, scallions, tomatoes, anchovies, capers, parsley, and watercress. Remove the top third of the loaf of bread. Remove the soft interior bread crumb from the loaf, leaving 1/2-inch shell, and reserve 1 cup packed bread crumbs/chunks. Make the dressing: In a food processor mince fine the parsley, watercress, and garlic. Add the reserved bread crumbs, lemon juice, and anchovies, and mince the mixture fine. With the motor running, add the oil in a stream and blend the dressing until it is emulsified. Stir 1/4 cup of the dressing into the olive mixture and spread the remaining dressing on the inside of the bread shell. Mound the filling into the shell, packing it, put the loaf back together and wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Let the sandwich stand, weighted with a 2-pound weight (I have found a large dictionary or other heavy book works well here), for at least 3 hours. When ready to serve, cut the loaf into 2-inch slices with a serrated knife.

[email protected]This sandwich was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less olive oil. Otherwise, it was a good sandwich.

[email protected]I love pan bagnat sandwiches and this one was no exception. The bread was crusty and the filling was flavorful and moist. I especially liked the addition of the hard-boiled eggs.

[email protected]This was a great sandwich! I used a baguette instead of a traditional pan bagna loaf and it turned out perfectly. The sandwich was packed with flavor and the bread held up well.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of olives, but I really enjoyed this sandwich. The flavors were well-balanced and the olive tapenade added a nice touch of brininess.

[email protected]This sandwich was a total hit with my family! The flavors were incredible and the bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I will definitely be making this again.
