Yummy Tuna Fish Sandwich

Not the most PC sandwich these days. Inspired by a sandwich I had at Fernandez & Wells, the sandwich & coffee bar in Soho.

best quality tinned Italian (or Spanish) tuna in oil

home-made aioli (or fresh one pre-made from deli)

cornichons

capers

fresh tarragon and/or dill

parsley

chopped grilled red pepper (skin removed)

squeeze of lemon

grated lemon rind

very finely-chopped red onion (optional)

EVOO

S&P

tabasco sauce (both green & red)

1. in a bowl, break up tuna and mix in aioli to coat well
2. add rest of ingredients to taste, with emphasis on the cornichons, capers & tarragon
3. red peppers are optional but make a big difference--don't need much!
4. grill some good quality bread, rub garlic & EVOO (and extra aioli if you're feeling fab), spread generous amounts of tuna mixture to make sandwich
