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.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

large loaf of crusty bread
sliced tomatoes
roasted red peppers
marinated artichoke hearts
red onion
olives
capers
basil leaves
anchovies
oil-packed tuna or grilled chicken
salt and pepper
red- or white-wine vinegar
olive oil.

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.
