Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 baguette small size
  • 1 clove garlic cut lengthwise
  • 2 sun-dried tomatoes oil-packed
  • 8 kalamata olives pitted
  • ½ red bell pepper Vigo brand recommended, medium, roasted
  • ¼ pound green beans blanched
  • 1 tomato cored and seeded
  • 2 anchovy fillet
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the baguettes in half lengthwise and rub the cut sides of the bread with the cut sides of the garlic clove.
  2. Combine all ingredients up through anchovies in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until well mixed but still chunky.
  3. Stir in the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Spread the mixture very thickly on the bottom half of each baguette.
  5. Place the remaining halves on top and wrap each sandwich tightly in waxed paper. Using kitchen twine, tie each wrapped sandwich tightly.
  6. Place a heavy object such as a cast-iron skillet or marble cutting board on top of the sandwiches and press down firmly.
  7. Allow the weight to remain on the sandwiches for one hour before serving.
