A pan bagnat is a French sandwich filled with vibrant ingredients from traditional Mediterranean cuisine. A salad of tomatoes, onions, tuna, anchovies, capers, and basil is sandwiched between two halves of bread, dressed with mustard, lemon juice, and olive oil. The sandwich is then wrapped in plastic wrap or pressed tightly with a weight and left to marinate the fillings and develop an intense flavor. Instead of the more popular canned tuna, try grilled tuna instead. This elevates the sandwich's flavor.
