Ingredients

3/4 cup pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 (6-ounce) cans tuna in olive oil, drained
1 (12-ounce) jar marinated artichokes, drained and coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (16-ounce) ciabatta bread, halved horizontally
1 tomato, diced

Directions

Puree the olives, oil, garlic, and zest in a food processor until smooth and spreadable. Blend in the mayonnaise. Toss the tuna, artichokes, lemon juice, and pepper in a medium bowl, keeping the tuna in small chunks.

Hollow out the bottom and top halves of the bread. Spread the olive puree over both cut sides of the bread. Spoon the tuna and artichoke mixture onto the bottom half of the bread. Sprinkle the tomatoes over. Cover with the bread top. Cut the sandwich crosswise into 6 pieces and serve.

Absolutely Scrumptious Sandwich
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this sandwich so many times after watching Giada make it a few years ago. I love it more and more every time I make... it. It is definitely something you will make over and over. I highly recommend this recipe. NOTE: You have to eat it fresh as it will not keep well if made ahead.Read more

Big disappointment
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

My children and I were really looking forward to this panini. We love all the items in it, but together they were to me a bit... much and to my children HORRIBLE! My son describes It has having a very strong salty/ bitter taste. We couldn't finish it so I guess we'll be ordering pizza tonight. Hope we don't knock out the pizza guy with our garlic breath.Read more

Not very good!!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I made this panini last weekend for my fiance and a close friend of ours. I followed the recipe exactly but it did not taste... very good at all. Our Friend could not even eat it, I was very embarrased. I never go wrong with Giada's recipes but this one...Well I wish I has passed this one up. Read more

Delicious Combination of Flavors!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Lovely balance of flavors. I've been opting for Italian olive oil for some time now, especially in a tuna salad, looking for... sales as it is more costly than domestic. But so much more flavor - deeper and richer instead of tasting like chicken as some domestic white albacore tends to do. I like to follow a recipe exactly the first time I make it, but I want to try the TJ Olive Rosemary bread next go-round. Read more
