Ingredients
3 52-g cans Italian-style olive-oil packed tuna, drained
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp herbes de Provence
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp chopped capers
1 tbsp drained and chopped pickled banana peppers
5 slices white sandwich bread, cut horizontally (ask the bakery to do this for you)
1 tbsp butter, at room temperature
5 sweet baby gherkin pickles, sliced in half lengthwise
Instructions
COMBINE tuna with zest, herbs, Dijon, mayo, capers and peppers in a medium bowl.
CUT crusts from bread, then, using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread. Spread each slice with a little butteron 1 side. Divide tuna salad equally among bread slices and smooth evenly with a knife. Lay 2 gherkin slices, end to end, at the short end of each sandwich, and roll into a short log. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, but best overnight, before slicing and serving.
