INGREDIENTS

  • 14 slices of sandwich bread, crusts removed
  • 3 cans (3x160g) of tuna in olive oil
  • ½ cup (75g) cooked corn (sweetcorn)
  • 1 carrot (150g), coarsely grated
  • 1 medium (150g) sweet red pepper, finely chopped
  • 4 (100g) spring onions, finely chopped
  • ½ cup (55g) chopped olives
  • 6-7 tender lettuce leaves, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup (10g) chopped parsley
  • 1 lemon, juice of
  • 1 level teaspoon (6g) salt
  • 1/3 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup (250g) mayonnaise

For the coating

  • 1 cup (250g) mayonnaise
  • a little chives
  • radish

METHOD

  1. Take a rectangular mold measuring 11x33 cm and line it with 2 large sheets of plastic wrap so you can wrap the sandwich log tightly later. Drain the tuna cans well. Place the tuna in a bowl and add the corn, carrot, pepper, spring onions, olives, lettuce, parsley, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and 2/3 of the mayonnaise. Mix well.
  2. Spread a little mayonnaise on one side of 3 slices and place them at the bottom of the mold with the spread side facing up. Spread mayonnaise on 4 more slices, cut them in half, and place them along the sides of the mold. Put half of the filling in the mold. Place 3 mayonnaise-spread slices on top of that, and then add the remaining filling. Spread mayonnaise on 3 slices and place them on top of the filling.
  3. Ensure the top layer of mayonnaise touches the filling. Wrap tightly with the plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors meld. Unmold the log and cover the sandwich log with mayonnaise. Garnish with chives and radish.
