Preparation

Step 1

Halve baguette and remove some of the crumb from each half to make it slightly hollow. Build the sandwich, layering on ingredients from list above. I would put tomato first, then tuna and then carry on.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper, drizzle with red or white wine vinegar and douse with olive oil.

Close the sandwich, wrap well in aluminum foil and weight it down with something heavy (I used a cookie sheet with a cast iron skillet on top) a skillet, a milk jug, a rock, a brick, whatever.

Refrigerate overnight or for up to 24 hours. Cut into pieces and service.
