Number Of Ingredients 27

1 fresh, crusty baguette
3 tablespoons best-quality softened butter (salted cultured butter or grass fed would be good options)
1/2 pound French-style ham, sliced
1/2 pound Emmental or Gruyère cheese, sliced by hand into thin triangles
1 fresh, crusty baguette
1 or 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
1/3 pound bloomy rind goat cheese, such as Bucheron
1/3 pound French-style ham, optional
1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1 small handful of fresh arugula, optional
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, optional
1 tablespoons minced parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (just eyeball it)
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
12 turns fresh black pepper
2 anchovies
2 tablespoons minced shallot (about 1/2 of one shallot clove)
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 fresh, crusty baguette
1 6.7 ounce jar of Italian oil-packed tuna, drained
1/2 bell pepper, red or green, sliced very thin
1 small handful raw haricots verts or green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces.
1 large handful arugula (about 1 ounce)
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
10 to 12 pitted black olives, preferably Niçoise, chopped
1 tomato, sliced

Steps:

  • Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, almost all the way through, and open.
  • Slather both sides with the butter. Layer with the ham and cheese. Close, press, and divide into two or three sandwiches.
  • Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, almost all the way through, and open. Drizzle the top and bottom baguette halves with olive oil.
  • Slice the tomato slices in half, so they are in half moons. Slice the goat cheese into thin rounds, then slice them in half into half moons.
  • If using, layer arugula, then ham onto the bottom of the sandwich. Then add alternating slices of tomato and goat cheese along the length of the sandwich.
  • Sprinkle with herbes de Provence. Close the baguette, press, and divide into halves or thirds.
  • Make the Vinaigrette: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the parsley, vinegar, Dijon, salt, pepper, anchovies, shallot, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Whisk until emulsified.
  • Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, almost all the way through, and open. Drizzle the top and bottom baguette halves with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • To the vinaigrette, add the tuna, bell pepper, haricots verts, and arugula. Stir to mix well. The tuna will break apart somewhat.
  • Spread the tuna mixture along the bottom half of the baguette. Layer the sliced hard-boiled egg and olives atop the tuna mixture.
  • Sprinkle with herbes de Provence. Close the baguette, press hard, and let rest for 2 to 24 hours, preferably weighted down. Tip: Suggestions for weighing down the pan bagnat: the bottom of a cast-iron skillet, or sheet pan with heavy cookbooks on it. Slice into halves or thirds, and serve. Note: If the sandwich will rest for more than two hours, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Before serving, allow to return to near room temperature.

BAGUETTE SANDWICH



Baguette Sandwich image

There is one sandwich in the Vietnamese repertoire and it is a tour de force. Garlicky meats, marinated daikon and carrot, chiles, cucumber, and cilantro tucked into a baguette moistened with mayonnaise and Maggi Seasoning sauce, bánh mì merges European and Asian food traditions. Each mouthful reflects how Vietnamese cooks co-opted French ideas to create new foods. All bánh mì use the same basic framework of ingredients, though a minority of makers use margarine or butter instead of mayonnaise. At Vietnamese delis, you make the call on the main protein element. The dac biet (special) is basically "the works," a smear of liver pâté and slices of various cold cuts that show off the art of Vietnamese charcuterie (pages 156 to 171). Follow the custom of Viet deli owners and use your imagination to fill the sandwich. Just make sure it is boldly flavored. Pieces of grilled lemongrass beef (page 28), oven-roasted chicken (page 80), five-spice pork steaks (page 143), or char siu pork (page 142; pictured here) are excellent. Seared or grilled firm tofu or left over roasted lamb or beef will work, too. The bread doesn't have to be one of the airy Vietnamese baguettes made with wheat and rice flours. (In the past, the best baguettes in Vietnam were made from wheat flour only and displayed an amazing crumb and crust.) You can use a regular baguette (though neither sourdough nor too crusty) or a Mexican bolillo (torpedo-shaped roll).

Yield makes 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 petite baguette roll or 7-inch section from a regular baguette
Mayonnaise, preferably homemade
Maggi Seasoning sauce or light (regular) soy sauce
Liver pâté, boldly flavored cooked meat, and/or tofu, sliced and at room temperature
3 or 4 thin, seeded cucumber strips, preferably pickling (Kirby) or English
2 or 3 sprigs cilantro, coarsely chopped
3 or 4 thin slices jalapeño chile
1/4 cup Everyday Daikon and Carrot Pickle (page 192)

Steps:

  • Slit the bread lengthwise, leaving it attached on the back side. Using your fingers or a bread knife, hollow out the insides, making a trough in each half. Discard the insides or save for another use, such as bread crumbs. If the bread is soft , crisp it briefly in a toaster oven preheated to 325°F, and then let it cool for a minute before proceeding.
  • Generously spread the cut sides of the bread with mayonnaise and then drizzle with Maggi Seasoning sauce. Layer the meat, cucumber, cilantro, chile, and pickle on the bottom half. Close the sandwich, cut in half crosswise for easy eating, and enjoy.
