    This is one of my husband's two favorite sandwiches. I get a million wife points when I make this for him. And because it's made to keep for a while it is perfect when he goes hiking for the day. Honestly if you make this sandwich for anyone you earn hero status.

    I used to get beautiful sandwiches like this in Paris. They were called Sandwiches Tunisiens.They had Tuna, but many other varieties--chicken, meatless with eggs, meatless with vegetables. They were beautiful to look at & made an inexpensive & very fillng meal. I have tried to make them bakc in the States but they are never the same. I think it is 2 things: the bread in France is far superior to in the US because the wheat itself is quite different; the tuna in particular is far superior as the tuna available at an average grocery store in the States is mush when it comes out of the can whether packed in water or oil whereas in Europe the tuna is firm & more like a fillet.

    Pan Bagnat is one of my all-time favorite sandwiches. Thank you, Bridget, for showing me how to make it. I watch so many of your videos, and I have a quick question. You cut raw chicken on a wooden cutting board; how do you clean it so it's safe to use for other things?

    • @ericfan9149
      @ericfan9149 2 года назад +1

      I'm not a food scientist, but I'll reiterate what I've read. Although plastic cutting boards seem more hygienic than wood, wood is actually naturally anti-microbial and tests have shown that wooden cutting boards harbour less bacteria than plastic ones (especially if the plastic is finely scored with knife cuts). I believe washing a wooden cutting board under hot soapy water and then letting it dry is sufficient for keeping it clean.

    I could not find the nicoise olives and substituted kalamata olives as was suggested online.

Is there either a better substitute olive to use or perhaps even something other than olives to allow the great tuna taste to shine through?

    Pain Bagnat means Prisoner's bread... it's like a "Kitchen sink bread" where you put all ingredients of the fridge in...

      It actually doesn't mean that at all... It literally means "bathed bread", as in soaked in olive oil / water in order to make it heavier and filling. Initially it was just water, since olive oil was expensive.
      As for the kitchen's sink idea, that's not true either since you're supposed to use the freshest ingredients.
      Nevertheless, the most outrageous act from that recipe is that she's not even using the round shaped bread. Qué vergonha!

    We were quite keen to give this a try as soon as we saw this video. So we went out and bought all the stuff and invested some time to make it for today's lunch. Followed the recipe and process exactly. How'd we like it? Um ... it's interesting, for sure. But there's just too much going on for us. Taste-wise it was sorta all over the place. It feels like a dozen flavors are all duking it out. I think I would have preferred to make this entire thing in salad form, where I could pick just one or two ingredients for each bite. We used really good tuna, then were disappointed to see the taste of it get drowned-out by the 16 other ingredients. Plus it was a bit of a mess physically. Take her seriously when she says to blot the tomatoes and to rinse and pat dry the capers and anchovies. Do whatever you can to keep the moisture level down. It was an interesting exercise, but I wouldn't make it again.

    Looks delicious but that is not a "baguette" which is much smaller. The French usually mix a hand made mayo or just olive oil into the tuna to make it less dry.

      "bagnat" means "wet"

      You can just add the tuna to the sauce. Throw a bit more EVOO in it.
