Fresh Tuna Hero

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Cut off about ¼ inch from the top of each clove of garlic, discard.

Place garlic cloves in a small ramekin.

Drizzle with white wine and I teaspoon pure olive oil.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover with foil and bake for 1 hour, or until garlic is soft.

Remove and cool to room temperature.

Sprinkle both sides of tuna with black pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons pure olive oil in a non stick skillet.

Sear tuna over medium-high heat and cook for 3 minutes per side for medium rare.

Remove from pan, cool and cut crosswise into 8 thin slices.

Reserve.

Slice the top third off each roll, lengthwise; reserve tops.

Hollow out the center of each roll.

Brush insides with the extra-virgin olive oil.

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins and spread over the inside of each roll.

To assemble sandwiches, lay 2 slices of tuna along bottom.

Next, lay string beans lengthwise. Top each with a slice of tomato and roasted pepper, pressing down on ingredients.

Sprinkle evenly with black pepper and parsley.

Cover rolls with reserved tops; press down again.

To ensure that the sandwich is perfectly moist, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours before serving.
