Marinated Tuna and Tomato Sandwiches
Marinated Tuna & Tomato Sandwiches
SERVES 4 sandwiches
PREPARATION TIME 15 minutes
Plus 45 minutes to stand
8 slice bread, ¼ in (6mm) thick, from a 1 lb (450g) loaf.
4 teaspoons olive oil.
2 cloves garlic, peeled, halved and lightly crushed.
8 teaspoons red wine vinegar.
1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced.
4 black olive, stoned and chopped.
2 medium tomatoes, sliced.
7oz (200g) tined tuna in oil, drained and flaked.
4 level tablespoons chopped fresh basil.
- Cut pieces of waxed or greaseproof paper for wrapping up the sandwiches, and lay 2 slices of bread on each. Trickle ½ teaspoon of oil evenly over each slice, then rub each pair of slices with half a garlic clove. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of vinegar on each slice of bread.
- Spoon equal amounts of the onion, olives, tomatoes, tuna and basil onto one slice of each sandwich and top with the remaining lice, putting it oil-side down.
- Wrap up the sandwiches securely and leave them to stand at room temperature for 45 minutes before eating so the bread absorbs the juices. You are preparing a packed lunch, keep the wrapped sandwiches in the refrigerator until it is time to pack them, then put them in a plastic box.
