This sandwich was my attempt to re-create a sandwich from a french brasserie that my husband and I love to go to for Sunday brunch. I usually always order the salad Niçoise but this time, surprising my husband immensely, I went for the tune sandwich. I only made this drastic change in my order as I had been told by my sister, my foodie confidant, that this sandwich was divine, and so it was.
Sandwich for 2:
4 slices of toast-able bread
2 eggs, not soft boiled but also not hard boiled (5 min)
2 lettuce leaves - try to keep them whole, so they become a sort of "bowl" to place the tuna mix in
1 tsp capers
1 tinned tune in olive oil - sustainably (line pole) fished
salt & pepper
1/2 a small red onion - finely chopped
1,5-2 tbsp good quality mayonnaise (this is really crucial, don't use cheap-o stuff)
1 tsp dijon mustard
2-3 drops tabasco
1-2 drops worcester sauce
5 stalks of parsley - I didn't have this at home at the time but I will add it next time. Take the leaves off the stalks and chop to your preferred size.
- Boil the eggs & peel, slice them in half.
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Try to break all the large tuna chunks.
- Toast your bread slices.
- Place the lettuce leaf "bowl" on each toast and fill with the tuna mix. Add the egg last and cover with the top toast.
Done. Enjoy.
