A very delightful sandwich that makes a great take-along lunch. Because I wanted to make 5 (one for each weekday), I used 5 onion-crusted rolls, from which I removed some of the soft center. I used 2 cans of tuna but kept the rest of the ingredients at the same measurement. This ratio was perfect for me. I believe "pan bagnat" means "bathed bread" and I have to say that these sandwiches were bathed in flavor! All the wonderful ingredients just melded together perfectly! Thanks for sharing this great recipe. Made for ZWT8.
