Ingredients

Garbanzo Bean Spread:

  • 1 (15 1/2-ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Panini:

  • 1 cup pitted black olives, finely chopped
  • 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 (5 1/2-ounce) cans Italian tuna in olive oil, drained (recommended: Flot)
  • 1 (13 3/4-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
  • 8 mini baguettes, sliced in 1/2 lengthwise
  • 2 cups arugula
  • Special equipment: Brown parchment paper for wrapping the sandwiches

Directions

To make the Garbanzo Bean Spread: Combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

To make the Panini: Combine the black olives, olive oil, salt, pepper, tuna, and artichokes in a bowl.

Lay out the sliced baguettes. Spread the Garbanzo Bean Spread on both halves of the baguettes. Spoon the tuna mixture over the bean spread. Top with the arugula and close the sandwich. Wrap 1 end of the sandwich in parchment paper to make it easier to eat. Place the sandwiches on a platter and serve.

    Delicious!

    Loved the tuna mixture, but my favorite part was the garbanzo bean/hummus spread. Soooo yummy! I've never put mint in hummus, but wow! Really good!

    I will definitely make these again. My husband thought it was yummy too.

    Also - I did not use anywhere near as much oil as the recipe suggested. And I also did not have arugula this time, unfortunately, but it was still yummy.

    Very flavorful and easy to prepare. I would suggest using a little less olive oil because it did become a bit too oily using 2/3 cup as directed. Otherwise, wonderful and fast.

    I never knew a tuna fish sandwich could possibly be this good!
