Marinated Tuna Sandwiches.

If you have only thought of a tuna sandwich as the typical tuna-with-mayo, then you have been missing a real taste delight! This 'must try' will immediately become a 'must have'.

Marinated Tuna Sandwiches

4 crusty hoagie or French rolls
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, bruised
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 red onion, thinly sliced*
4 tablespoons sliced kalamata olives**
2 perfectly ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick (best with garden ripe tomatoes)
2 (6.5-ounce) cans premium white albacore tuna, drained***
4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  1. Tear off 4 sheets of plastic wrap, each large enough to wrap a sandwich.
  2. Split hoagie rolls and lay each open on each plastic sheet.
  3. Sprinkle each roll half with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil.
  4. Rub the bread with the bruised garlic; discard the garlic.
  5. Sprinkle each roll half with 1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar.
  6. On the bottom half of each hoagie roll layer 1/4 of the onion, olives, tomatoes, tuna and basil.
  7. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Place the top half of the hoagie roll on and wrap each sandwich tightly in the plastic wrap.
  9. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate 2 or more hours before serving to allow flavors to intensify and "marinate" the sandwich.

Makes 4 sandwiches.

*For the best taste, soak the sliced onion in ice water for at least 10 minutes, drain, and use as directed.

**Or substitute 1 (2.25-ounce) can sliced black olives for the kalamata olives.

***If possible, try to use a premium canned tuna purchased in specialty seafood markets (or home canned). Yes, it is more expensive, but the taste is well worth it.
