OLIVE OIL POACHED ALBACORE TUNA, REMOULADE, AND CHEDDAR CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place the rosemary, bay leaves, and lemon slices along the bottom of a medium saucepan. Arrange the tuna on top, and pour the oil over to cover completely. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cook over low heat for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the first bubble appears in the oil. (It should still be cool enough to be able to dip your finger in it.)
• Immediately remove the pan from the heat, flip each piece of fish over, and cover the pan with a lid. Allow the tuna to sit in the warm oil for about 5 to 10 minutes, until it's cooked all the way through. Remove the tuna and refrigerate. Strain the oil and reserve for the Remoulade, chilling it for at least 30 minutes, or until cooled to room temperature.
• Prepare Remoulade, as described in the recipe below.
• Place the tuna in a medium bowl and, using your fingers, flake it into large chunks. Add 3/4 cup of the Remoulade and mix to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, to taste. If you like, add the remaining Remoulade.
• Adjust the oven rack to the upper position, and preheat the boiler.
• Toast the bread, and the rub 1 side of each slice with the garlic clove. Place on a baking sheet, garlic side up.
• Pile the tuna unevenly over the bread. Crumble the cheese and scatter it unevenly over the center, leaving a 1-inch border of tuna around the edge. Heat under the broiler for about 30 seconds, until the cheese is melted. Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over and sprinkle with chives.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer or in a medium stainless steel bowl, whisk the egg yolk, salt, and mustard by hand. Slowly drizzle in the oil, drop by drop, whisking constantly. As the mixture begins to thicken, add a teaspoon each of the lemon juice and water.
• Once you've added almost half of the oil, place the bowl in the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and mix on medium speed, or continue to whisk in the oil by hand. Pour the oil in a slow, steady trickle, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. As the mixture thickens, add a little more of the lemon juice and water, and continue whisking until the remaining oil is completely incorporated and the sauce is thickened.
• Stir in the red onion, capers, cornichons, tarragon, and parsley. Season with lemon juice and salt, to taste.

ITALIAN-STYLE TUNA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Make the salsa verde: Whiz parsley leaves and 1/2 cup oil in a food processor or blender to a pesto-like consistency, then transfer to a small bowl. (Alternatively, chop parsley by hand and combine with oil.) Add garlic, chopped olives, anchovies, capers, lemon zest and red pepper to parsley mixture and stir well. Season with salt if necessary and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Thin with more oil as desired.
• Cut baguette crosswise into 4 equal pieces, then split each lengthwise with a serrated knife. (If using rolls, split each lengthwise.) For each sandwich, lay bread flat, crust side down. Spread cut sides with 2 tablespoons salsa verde. Put a few lettuce leaves on 1 piece of bread and arrange 2 ounces of tuna over lettuce. Top tuna with 1 egg, quartered. Season egg lightly with salt and pepper. Add sliced serrano chile, if using. Drizzle with a little more salsa verde, then press sandwich closed.

TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mash garlic with the back of a spoon. Whisk in the lemon juice and 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Combine with the tuna, onion, olives, capers, herbs and salt to taste.
• Serve on buttered toast for sandwiches, or make into a dip: Pulse the tuna salad and butter in a food processor until it is creamy. With the motor of the processor running, slowly add the additional 4 tablespoons oil. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if needed. Serve with cut vegetables (fennel and bell peppers are nice) and crackers.

TUNA AND OLIVE SALAD SANDWICH

Steps:

• Whisk together mayonnaise and lemon juice in a large bowl.
• Add remaining salad ingredients and stir together gently.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Assemble sandwiches: Cut baguette into 4 equal lengths and halve each piece horizontally.
• Brush cut sides with oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Make sandwiches with baguette, lettuce, and tuna salad.
