I've always loved tuna but I'm not such a big fan of those tuna melt sandwiches. I feel that a cold tuna sandwich is immensely better as I feel that fish is a dis better served cold. Anyway, I felt like making some aioli which is essentially garlic infused mayo. Today, I've decided to make a nice tuna sandwich using freshly made aioli from scratch on a fresh baguette.
The ingredients:
- 1 egg yolk
- Oil - up to you if you want to use virgin or something else. I used peanut oil.
- Lemon juice
- Blue cheese
- 1 bulb Garlic
- Flaked tuna
- Brown onion
- Tomato
- Apples
- Baguettes
- Mustard to taste
The procedure:
Slice your apples, onions and tomatoes and set aside. These will be used to garnish your baguette later. Chop the garlic and set aside. In a blender or food processor, mix the egg yolk with about 150-200ml of oil and about 5 teaspoons of lemon juice. Blend until thick and creamy then put in about 75 grams of blue cheese and all the garlic then blend again until it's all smooth. You can add salt and pepper if you want.
Slice your baguettes lengthwise and garnish this with the slices of apple, onion and tomatoes. Drain the flaked tuna and put in a bowl. Mix the aioli with the tuna along with some mustard. It is important that you do not put too much aioli and make the mixture too wet as it will ruin your sandwich and make it hard to eat. Now scoop the tuna mixture out and lay it thick onto the baguette and serve! This is delicious!
Here are some photos:
Make only enough aioli for what you need as this can spoil fast especially since the yolk is raw. Adding salt will make it last a bit longer. Enjoy! Ciao!
