Bistro Tuna Sandwiches Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Grill: 10 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

25 10 35

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Greek olives
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 tuna steaks (6 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 French bread baguette (10-1/2 ounces)
1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup roasted sweet red peppers, drained and cut into strips
4 slices red onion
4 Boston lettuce leaves

Directions

Place the olives, capers, lemon juice, peel, garlic and 1 tablespoon oil in a food processor; cover and process until finely chopped. Set aside.
Brush tuna with remaining oil; sprinkle with pepper. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. For medium-rare, grill tuna, covered, over high heat or broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until slightly pink in the center.
Cut baquette in half horizontally. Grill bread cut side down, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes or until toasted. Slice tuna into 1/2-in. thick slices. Combine mayonnaise and mustard until smooth; spread over baguette bottoms. Layer with peppers, onion, tuna, olive mixture and lettuce; replace tops. Cut into slices. Yield: 4 servings.
