Pan Bagnat
This was perfect for me because I could prepare it after the baby went to bed and have it in the fridge waiting for me when I was ready for lunch the next day. It'd also be perfect picnic food.
It came out of the Julia and Jacques book I just got. Inspiration for it, anyway. They used anchovies and lettuce; I used tuna and green beans.
Fresh Direct has these par-baked whole-wheat rolls that I love because they're the perfect size for a sandwich (and they perfectly fit the veggie burgers I buy, but I hate to even admit I eat those things), and I can just bake up one or two at a time when I want them. This time I sliced one in half horizonally, drizzled lots of vinaigrette over both halves, then layered on oil-packed tuna, cured black olives, steamed green beans and sliced tomato. Wrapped the sandwich in plastic wrap and put it under a heavy jar in the fridge (so the juices from the tuna and tomato would soak into the bread).
