Directions:

1

Halve the baguette lengthwise, then cut it crosswise into 3 or 4 portions. Remove some of the light, fluffy bread from the center and discard or reserve for another use (such as bread crumbs).

2

In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Place a few lettuce leaves on both halves of each baguette portion.

3

Top the bottom halves with the tuna mixture, tomatoes, onion, olives, basil, and capers (if using). Drizzle with the remaining oil.

4

Sandwich with the top half of each baguette portion and press gently but firmly.

5

And the next time, try...

6

Giving this French sandwich an international flavor by replacing the baguette with whole-grain bread, pita, or whatever happens to be sitting on the counter (pumpernickel, anyone?).

You can purchase bottled Thai green curry sauce in most supermarkets, but this recipe proves how quick and easy it is to make your own. Refrigerate any leftover sauce, covered, for up to 3 days.

A delicious beef stew that my dad taught me how to make. This stew - like most - is better when heated up on the next day. It also freezes very well
