PAN BAGNAT
Grab-and-go offerings of picnicky food are almost universally mediocre and exasperatingly expensive. Resist the temptation to outsource and make your own. This recipe is built to last. You can make it a day or two ahead of time, or leave it out on the counter if you're going to eat this sandwich within a few hours of making it.

Steps:
- Halve a large loaf of crusty bread horizontally, and remove some of the crumb from each half to make it slightly hollow.
- Build the sandwich, layering on sliced tomatoes, roasted red peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, red onion, olives, capers, basil leaves and anchovies (if you like them).
- Oil-packed tuna is classic; grilled chicken is also good. 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 (a skillet, a milk jug, a rock, a brick, whatever).
- Refrigerate overnight or for up to 24 hours. Cut into pieces, and serve.

Steps:
- Bring a medium saucepan filled with enough water to cover 4 large eggs to a simmer. Add the eggs, adjust the heat, and simmer for exactly 12 minutes. Transfers the eggs to an ice bath to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, mustard and vinegar in a medium bowl. Chop the olives and add them to the bowl. Add the tuna with the oil. Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Gently toss the ingredients together.
- Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Drizzle each half lightly with olive oil. Top both halves of the baguette with the tuna mixture. Slice the eggs and top the tuna mixture evenly with the slices. Sprinkle the eggs lightly with salt and pepper. Top with arugula. Carefully flip the top half of the baguette onto the bottom half. Cut into 4 to 6 pieces and enjoy right away, or wrap the whole loaf tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate, slicing into sandwiches when ready to serve.
PAN BAGNAT
The beauty of a pan bagnat: not only is it impressive and something different to share with fellow picnickers, it also wants to be made in advance. The longer it sits (up to 24 hours), the better it gets. The flavors marry, the oil and tomato juices mingle, the anchovies dissolve into the bread and all of it coalesces into a sophisticated whole that stays intact when you bite in. Pan bagnats can be a catchall for whatever vegetables are on hand: crisp hot and sweet peppers, fennel, cucumber and scallions. Even string beans, peas and fava beans can all work. The tuna itself is optional; some versions are ringed with just anchovies and sliced hard-cooked eggs. And at the time of year when wild salmon is in season, you could use some of the leftover cooked fish in place of tuna, which would make the sandwich even classier.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the optional anchovies, the garlic, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in oil, whisking constantly.
- If using a country loaf, pull out some soft interior crumb to form a cavity. If using a ciabatta, you won't need to eliminate anything.
- If using a Kirby cucumber, slice thinly. If using a regular cucumber, peel, halve lengthwise, and scoop out seeds from one half. Thinly slice seedless half. Add sliced cucumber to vinaigrette and toss well.
- Spread half the cucumbers on bottom of bread. Top with tomato and onion slices, then with tuna, basil, olives and egg slices. Top egg with remaining cucumbers and vinaigrette. Cover with second bread half and firmly press sandwich together.
- Wrap sandwich tightly in foil, waxed paper or plastic wrap, then place in a plastic bag. Put sandwich under a weight such as a cast-iron frying pan topped with a filled kettle, or have a child about 7 years old sit on it. Weight sandwich for 7 to 10 minutes, then flip and weight it for another 7 to 10 minutes (or as long as you can get the child to sit still). Unwrap, slice and serve immediately, or keep it wrapped for up to 8 hours before serving.
