HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Slice the baguette lengthwise, but not all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling. Lightly toast the baguette if desired for extra crispness.

In a small bowl, flake the drained tuna with a fork. Stir in the harissa paste until well combined.

Spread the harissa tuna mixture evenly inside the baguette.

Layer the halved Kalamata olives, chopped fresh parsley, thinly sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion over the tuna.

Gently press the sandwich together and slice into two equal portions. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a hard-boiled egg, sliced, or some pickled vegetables like carrots or bell peppers. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the filling before closing the sandwich brightens all the flavors.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have Kalamata olives, any briny olive will work. For a milder spice, reduce the amount of harissa or use a mild variety. Canned salmon can be used instead of tuna.

Storage & Reheating
