Veggie Pan Bagnat (Niçoise Salad Sandwich)

[fuckkbrunch]

Another sandwich. I love the easy dinners.

Clearly very French. Tony recommends using high quality tuna in olive oil, so I bought something a bit nicer than I usually would have. I didn't go nuts and try to hunt down very pricey canned fish. Sue me.

Just look at that beautifully boiled egg. He ain't wrong when he says that a 9 minute egg is the best level for "hard boiled". If you're at home doing 15 minute eggs for your egg salad (or any reason), stop it! 9 minutes and an ice bath immediately. Perfect every time. This has been a public service announcement.

Brioche with black olive tapenade spread, and a mixture of tuna, capers, anchovies, parsley, etc. A layer of thinly sliced eggs, finished with a layer of thinly sliced tomatoes. Whack on the top bun, and press between two sheet pans. Put something hefty on top, like a cast iron, or bricks. Not kidding, he suggests foil wrapped bricks. Then wait for at least 30 minutes.

I can see how this could be sold in classy French restaurants, but also it kind of looks hilarious? It's a heavy, dense little sandwich after all of that work though. I think the mixture was slightly too wet, the bottom buns were a little too oily for me. Next time I'd squish them less, and/or omit some of the oil from the recipe.

Taste was a 2 out of 5. A salty, slightly more complex tuna salad.

Difficulty was a 1.5 out of 5. Takes a little advance planning, but it's very easy to execute.

Time was about 45 minutes, and that includes the 30 minute wait time. Boil your eggs the day before, or earlyish the day of.

Honestly, this just makes me want to squish other sandwiches. Tuna wouldn't have been my first choice. Maybe I'll make a squished club sandwich instead...

Pan Bagnat Pressed French Tuna Sandwich Recipe The ideal picnic food is Chef John's pan bagnat, or pressed French tuna sandwich, which is sandwiched between two pieces of bread drenched in oil.

This is my second loaf made with the 70-page (ish) tartine basic recipe and I think I’m finally starting to get it right? This is definitely my best loaf ever, or at least tied for best. Once I have this down I want try some of the variations in the books!

Hagging Out April 2023 - Valborg

I've been making eyes at everybody's Hexennacht posts and wishing I could have joined you all in a witch-faced sabbat celebration but ah well, prior engagements and all that. But @graveyarddirt pointed out that Old Hexennacht is on the 13th so if I get my shit together I'll be there for that at least!

I celebrated Valborg - the Swedish version of Walpurgis - with a traditional drunken picnic, meeting up with a friend I haven't seen in too long. It was a cold day but we found a sunny spot out of the wind and I wore my thermal underwear and brought multiple blankets so we ended up staying until the sun disappeared behind the trees.

This year I made a non-traditional pan bagnat, inspired by this recipe. I've made it once before and it's so good. What you do is you hollow out a large round loaf and fill it with layers of delicious veggies, cheese and (optionally) meat. I followed the recipe pretty closely, except I made mine vegetarian, using egg white based "ham". I also added some avocado for the top layer.

The traditional pan bagnat is filled with a salade niçoise. Some day I'll try that as well, but I had such fond memories of this recipe that I wanted to go that route again.

Once the loaf is filled (and then some!), you put the lid on and wrap it all in plastic wrap. Then you place something heavy on top and leave it overnight. I was a little concerned that my filling would leak out because it protruded so far above the edge of the bread, but a judicious application of plastic wrap prevented that from happening.

I put my heaviest pot on top and filled it with more heavy things, and to prevent the whole tower from toppling over, I put it all in the picnic basket I'd found the same day - where it fit perfectly.

There was no way I would fit bread + weight in my small fridge but luckily the outside temps are pretty much equivalent right now. My little garden/courtyard is open to the street so to be sure the basket would still be there in the morning, I secured it with a bike lock 😅

It's been a couple of years since I made this last but it turned out beautifully. I'll definitely make this again!

gianni simply loves his people. it doesn't matter what time of day it is... if you're having a bad afternoon and he's busy at knife + petal, he'll get you situated by a window with some soup and bread. he'll talk to you for a bit, make sure you're okay. and you can stay there in that restaurant as long as you want. it doesn't matter if it's 2am and he has work in like 4 hours. you show up at his door and you can vent all you want while he makes you a sandwich. a pan bagnat with red wine vinegar, olive oil, anchovies, tuna. he gives you the assignment of making the dressing, so you have something to do. and you can stay as long as you want.

if you call him and you really need him, he will drop everything and make sure you're in a good place. on his watch, gianni does not allow his people to suffer. you need money? he'll write a check. you need him watch your dog for you? he'll form an unhealthy attachment to your pup but he'll do it.

Instructions: Cut the baguette into individual sandwich-sized portions. Split each piece of baguette in half horizontally.

Wrap each Pan Bagnat burger tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Have you ever had pan bagnat? The whole point there is to USE oil to keep the bread from going soggy. It holds up real nice on a macrina baguette!

I haven't! I'd love to try this.

Côte d'Azur: Today we took an Uber to Villefranche-sur-Mer. It is most famous for folks of our age for being where Nell Cote Villa is, which Kieth Richards rented to write and record Exile on Main Street. 

We started our visit by enjoying fritto mixto and a pan bagnat by the sea. The later is essentially a salade niçoise in a sandwich.  

Villefranche's bay is notable for reaching a significant depth only a short distance from shore. As a result, it has become an important port over the years, that since World War I, the United States Navy has called on a regular basis, making Villefranche the home port of the U.S. 6th Fleet from 1948 to February 1966, when French President Charles de Gaulle withdrew France from NATO and required U.S. forces to leave. (Total jerk). 

It is also famous for being where Jean Cocteau lived and did drugs while painting his now-famous murals depicting the life of Saint Peter and local fishermen on the restored interior of The Chapelle Sainth-Pierre, which dates from the sixteenth century.
