Tuna turkish roll with greens and sundried tomatos

Last week, Coles was promoting 10 cans of GREENSEAS tuna for AUD10. We got 10 of the brine and oil flavoured ones.

I made a great tuna pasta with it, but since that happened a few days ago, I am too lazy to write up that recipe now, and shall just post my most current tuna creation.

The key to a yummy tuna sandwich, is GOOD fresh turkish bread and GOOD flavoursome olive oil. Tony, our delightful deli around the corner, has great turkish bread - crusty on the outside and soft on the inside when toasted.

Ingredients for 2p:-
Good olive oil. We use Coriole's (Season 2008) First Oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Balsamic vinegar. We just used Tetsuya's balsamic salad dressing, as I have yet to fine a real good balsamic oil.
Baby spinach - enough for generous layers of leaves per sandwich
4-5 basil leaves or parsley, finely chopped.
2 pieces of sundried tomato, shredded into small bits.
Easily meltable cheese of your choice
Good turkish bread
Sea salt and pepper, cracked
Tuna in brine, 65g

STEPS FOR 1 serving of sandwich

Preheat toaster oven/grill (so that it is nice and warm by the time you are ready to put bread with ingredients and cheese in. Cheese then takes less only about a minute to melt beautifully, bread is warm but not overtoasted, greens not wilted)

Cut turkish bread into halves

Onto 1 half of the bread, layer spinach leaves and chopped herb leaves on bread. Then the shredded sundried tomatoes. Spread the sundried tomatoes out so that you dont get the overintensely sour flavour in 1 mouthful. Tomato on top so that it gets slightly grilled, and protects spinach leaves from wilting.

Onto 2nd half of the bread, place cheese pieces/bits.

Toast in preheated grill for about 1- 2 minutes - ie when cheese is melted should be done.

Put tuna once out of toaster.

Drizzle GENEROUS amount of olive oil on greens, and then drizzle balsamic vinegar.

Crack a little bit salt and pepper.

Eat while its hot. Enjoy the burst of juicy greens, sundried tomatoes and olive oil on crunchy turkish bread.

Bon Appetit!
