Inspired by Buona’s Tuna Genovese sandwich, this recipe combines high-quality tuna, creamy aioli, zesty arugula, and sun-dried tomato pesto on hearty bread. It’s bold, refreshing, and satisfying — just like the original.
Ingredients
Directions
In a mixing bowl, combine drained tuna, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir to blend.
Toast ciabatta or focaccia slices if desired.
Spread a generous layer of aioli or mayo on the bottom half of the bread.
Add a layer of arugula, followed by the seasoned tuna.
Spoon sun-dried tomato pesto over the tuna.
Top with roasted red peppers and close the sandwich.
