Dinner Tonight: 'Ino'S Tuna With Black Olive Pesto Panini Recipe
- 1 cup black olives, pitted
- 10 caper berries, any stems removed
- Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup olive oil
- One 6-ounce can tuna in olive oil, drained
- 6 caper berries, stems discarded, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, from about 1/2 lemon
- Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 ciabatta rolls, split in half
- For the Pesto: Toss all ingredients into a blender or food processor. Blend until chopped, but still a little chunky.
- For the sandwiches: Add tuna, capers, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Stir until combined.
- Smear one tablespoon of the pesto on the cut side of the three bottom rolls. Divide tuna mixture between the three rolls, and then place each top on.
- Grill on a panini press until browned, three to five minutes. Alternatively, you can place the sandwich on a grill pan over medium heat, and top with a heavy iron skillet. Cook until browned, about three minutes a side.
