Sandwich Pan-banya

Cookinero 25 Jan 2023

Pan banya is, in fact, the same as the Nicoise salad, but only served inside a round loaf of bread. The ingredients are the same: tuna, eggs, tomatoes, bell peppers, olives, anchovies, olive oil... The bread is well soaked with a mixture of olive oil and vinegar, which is why the sandwich is called "pan-bagna," i.e. "redeemed bread." The sandwich turns out to be very bright, rich, nutritious and at the same time light.

Sandwich Pan-banya - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can replace tuna with cooked chicken, shrimp, or even cooked chickpeas for a vegetarian option to customize the sandwich accordingly.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for freshness and safety.
Absolutely! You can omit the tuna and anchovies, and add extra vegetables, cheese, or plant-based proteins to make a vegetarian-friendly sandwich.
Lightly toasting the bread or brushing it with olive oil before assembling can help prevent sogginess and add flavor.
It's best to assemble the sandwich shortly before serving to keep the bread fresh and prevent ingredients from becoming soggy, but you can prepare the topping ingredients and assemble just prior to serving.
Simply scale up or down the ingredient quantities proportionally based on the number of servings you need.
It's not recommended to freeze the assembled sandwich as bread and fresh vegetables can become soggy or lose texture. However, prepped ingredients can be frozen separately for later use.
Serve the sandwich with a side of fresh salad, chips, or pickles, and garnished with extra basil leaves for a complete meal.
