French Toasted Tuna And Hummus Sandwiches Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Press all liquid from tuna. Crumble tuna into bowl. Add hummus, finely shredded spinach, grated carrots and cumin, then mix thoroughly. Make four sandwiches with bread and tuna mixture. In shallow bowl, whisk together milk, egg and egg whites. Dip one side of first sandwich, then the other side, then repeat with of remaining 3, until lightly soaked. You should use up all of egg mixture. In large nonstick skillet (or two medium nonstick skillets) over very low heat, heat oil. Add sandwiches and cover skillet loosely with lid or piece of foil. Cook until undersides are well-browned, 8-10 minutes. Turn sandwiches and cook, still covered, until browned on other side, about 8 minutes more.

Steps:

• Drain tuna.
• Combine tuna, hummus, spinach, carrots and cumin and mix well.
• Make 4 sandwiches with the tuna mixture and the bread.
• Beat together milk, egg, and egg whites.
• Heat 2 large non-stick pans over medium-low heat.
• Carefully dip both sides of each sandwich in the milk and egg mixture, not soaking too much but using up all the mixture.
• Add 1/2 tsp oil to each pan and then fry the sandwiches, 2 per pan, about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown.
• If you prefer you can skip the milk and egg mixture and just toast the bread and add the filling.

Steps:

• Drain the oil from the tuna, reserving the oil. Place the tuna in a mixing bowl and flake it with a fork. Add the celery, onion, cornichons, lemon juice, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil, the mustard, salt, and pepper and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.
• Toast the bread and spread each slice with a layer of hummus. Spread the tuna salad on each piece of bread, garnish with slices of radish, and serve immediately.
• For the Hummus:
• Place the chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of the reserved liquid, the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until coarsely pureed. The hummus should be moist and thick; add more lemon juice or reserved chickpea liquid to thin, if necessary. Cover and refrigerate for several hours for the flavors to blend. Taste for seasonings. Yield: 2 cups.

Steps:

• Mix together tuna, celery, onion, pickle relish, and mayo.
• Spread 4 slices of bread with tuna mixture; top each with another slice of bread.
• Mix together eggs and milk.
• Dip sandwiches into egg mixture.
• Saute in butter over medium heat 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
• Serve immediately.
