A delightful Mediterranean-inspired sandwich perfect for picnics or quick meals.
Slice the baguette into four equal portions.
Use a serrated knife for clean cuts.
Hollow out the inside of each baguette portion slightly.
Save the removed bread for breadcrumbs or croutons.
Rub the inside of each baguette portion with the garlic clove.
Crush the garlic slightly to release its oils.
Drizzle olive oil inside each baguette portion and season with salt and pepper.
Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
Fill each baguette portion with tuna, tomato slices, olives, onion, and lettuce.
Layer the ingredients evenly for consistent bites.
Drizzle vinegar over the fillings before closing the sandwich.
A little vinegar goes a long way to enhance the flavors.
Wrap each sandwich tightly in foil and tie with string.
Wrapping tightly helps the sandwich hold its shape.
Let the sandwiches rest for at least an hour before serving.
Resting allows the flavors to meld together.
