"I use sherry vinegar in this version, which has a more tart flavor than red wine vinegar, as the original calls for, but you can switch to it in any case. Either eat the bread crumbs, which are removed in step 2, directly or make them into coûtons. When it comes to the herbs on this Niçoise-style sandwich, you can get creative and use chives, parsley, chervil, or marjoram. The sandwiches can be packed in a picnic basket or lunchbox and should be eaten within about two hours. They taste best at room temperature."

  • Step 1/4

    Cook eggs in boiling water for 8 min., or until hard-boiled. Run under cold water, peel, and cut into slices. Thinly slice garlic and finely chop anchovy fillets. Roughly crush the olives by hand and thinly slice tomatoes and onions. Transfer onion slices to a bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit for approx. 10 min., this helps remove some of the sharp, rawness from the onions. In another bowl, combine the tuna, garlic, anchovies, capers, olives, and sherry vinegar. Gently mix to combine, trying not to smash the tuna.
