Tuna Sandwiches Libyan-Style<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
  • 5- ounce can of tuna (drained)<\/li>
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil<\/li>
  • Lemon juice (to taste)<\/li>
  • Pinch of salt (to taste)<\/li>
  • Pinch of black pepper (to taste)<\/li>
  • Hummus<\/li>
  • Sliced black olives<\/li>
  • Sliced tomatoes<\/li>
  • Harissa or Sriracha<\/li>
  • French Bread<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
    \n\t\t
    1. Start by draining the tuna from the can and placing it in a bowl.<\/li>
    2. Add extra virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the tuna. Mix everything together until well combined.<\/li>
    3. Slice the French bread and warm it up. Spread hummus on one side and harissa or Sriracha on the other.<\/li>
    4. Layer the tuna, sliced tomatoes, and black olives onto the bread.<\/li>
    5. Close the sandwich and get ready to enjoy!<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t

      • Genova tuna in olive oil is my top choice, as it adds a wonderful flavor. If you don’t have olive oil-packed tuna, you can drain the water-packed one and add your own olive oil.<\/li>\n
      • While harissa is traditional, Sriracha or Sambal work great too if you don’t have harissa.<\/li>\n
      • Though hummus isn’t traditional in Libyan tuna sandwiches, it adds a delicious twist that many enjoy.<\/li>\n
      • For extra flavor, try drizzling some high-quality extra virgin olive oil inside the bread before adding the filling and sauce.<\/li>\n
      • Lee’s Baguettes or any Vietnamese bakery bread works wonderfully, but feel free to use your favorite bread!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
