Mediterranean Hero

The great Mediterranean sandwich, pan bagna, is often called a Niçoise salad hero. The sandwich is made by splitting a crusty bread loaf in half, scooping out the insides, and drizzling one side with fruity olive oil. Now the mood is set. Add the summer’s best tomatoes and red onions, lavishly sprinkle them with white-meat tuna, and a robust tomato sauce spiked with capers. Lighten the touch with crispy lettuce and a mimosa of eggs.
