PAN BAGNAT (PRESSED FRENCH TUNA SANDWICH) | ALLRECIPES



Pan Bagnat (Pressed French Tuna Sandwich) | Allrecipes image

I'm gonna show you how to make the world's most famous tuna sandwich, which is really the world's most famous tuna salad, the Niçoise, stuffed and pressed inside a whole loaf of bread. According to people who consider things, this is considered the ultimate picnic sandwich, since it has to be made ahead, and the longer it sits in its own juices, the better.

Total Time 8 hours 30 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 clove garlic, minced
? cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 loaf day-old crusty French bread, split in half lengthwise
2 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced, divided
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch salt to taste
? cup thinly sliced red onion
? cup sliced green olives
? cup sliced black olives
½ cup thinly sliced banana peppers
1?½ cups olive oil-packed tuna, broken into large chunks
8 oil-packed anchovy fillets
1 tablespoon drained capers
2 medium hard-boiled eggs, sliced
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, or to taste
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Stir garlic into the olive oil and set aside.
  • Partially hollow out the bread by pulling out about 50% of the insides. Brush the bread very generously with the garlic olive oil, reserving about 1 tablespoon for later use.
  • Begin building the sandwich by placing a layer of sliced tomatoes on the bottom half, covering it completely. Season with salt and pepper. Top with sliced onion, olives, and banana peppers.
  • Crumble the tuna over the top, pressing down slightly so it stays in place. Be sure to go as close to the edges as possible. Top with anchovy filets, capers, sliced eggs, and basil leaves. Top with another layer of tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with vinegar and reserved garlic olive oil.
  • Place the top half of the loaf on and press firmly to compress the ingredients. Wrap in several layers of plastic wrap, then with aluminum foil, ending with seams at the top.
  • Place into a large pan and place a sheet pan over the top. Weigh down with heavy cans, pots, a cast iron pan, or a cutting board, to press the sandwich as evenly as possible.
  • Place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or up to overnight, turning halfway through if possible. Unwrap, slice, and serve.

THE CLASSIC FRENCH BISTRO SANDWICH - CROQUE MONSIEUR ...



The Classic French Bistro Sandwich - Croque Monsieur ... image

My two versions of this classic French café/bistro sandwich - oven baked for large quantities and ease.......or, the traditional frying pan/skillet method! You can always rely upon the French to add a certain "je ne sais quoi" to even the simplest food ...including the humble cheese and ham sandwich. The croque-monsieur (which becomes a croque-madame if you top it with a fried egg) is a great favourite in French cafés & bistros, and there are as many methods of crafting it as there are cafés! This one works for me. But, please be warned ... it's not for calorie-counters, the Cholesterol Police or those of a nervous disposition!!

Total Time 20 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 4 Croque Monsieur, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices white bread
4 ounces butter, softened
4 slices ham
4 slices gruyere cheese
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Spread the bread with some of the softened butter, make 4 sandwiches, each with one slice of ham and one slice of cheese. Press them firmly together.
  • Beat the eggs with the water, add the salt and pepper to taste, and dip the sandwiches into the egg mixture, coating all sides well.
  • Heat the rest of the butter in a heavy- bottomed frying pan/skillet, when it has melted and is very hot - but not brown, fry the sandwiches for about 5 - 8 minutes, turning once.
  • Serve immediately.
  • If you prefer, although it is not traditional, you may place the croque-monsieur into a very well-buttered baking pan and bake in a moderately hot oven - 175°C/350°F - turning once, for about 10 to 15 minutes. It is easier to prepare a larger number this way and keep them warm until you are ready to serve them.

FRENCH PRESS COFFEE RECIPE | FOOD NETWORK KITCHEN | FOOD ...
Once you get the hang of using it, a French press delivers consistent results and a heavier-bodied brew. Plus it makes your morning coffee ritual much more enjoyable. There are a few prerequisites: Coffee that is too finely ground will make your final product murky and give it an oily sheen and bitter flavor. If you do not have a coffee grinder, ask the person in the coffee section of the grocery store or your local coffee shop to grind the beans for French press. Water temperature also matters—too hot and it can cause the brew to taste burnt. How long to let it steep is subjective so experiment to find your own target time.

  • Serve right away with milk and sweetener if using. If you aren't sharing the pot and want to wait to have a second cup, it's best to transfer the coffee to a thermos or carafe. If you leave it in the press, it will continue to brew and can become too strong or bitter.
