For a long time we’ve wanted to create our own version of the classic Italian tuna sandwich. We love the texture and flavor of this dish, not to mention how it avoids dairy or anything processed. We thought “how hard could it be to make this ourselves, but make it our way?”
I truly love everything homemade, especially bread. This is a fairly basic approach to focaccia with our own toppings. It is not a big stretch from traditional focaccia. Ours turned out fluffier than most we’ve tried in restaurants. Needless to say, our entire dish was just as tasty as any time we’ve ever had this while dining out. Of course, ours was made together, with love, which makes it all the better!

This recipe will take some time. The tuna is quick and easy, but you’ll find yourself with some downtime while waiting for the focaccia to do its thing. Making this with your spouse or family is really a lot of fun. Enjoy!
While on set last week, the lunch caterer cooked up delicious red quinoa, roasted chicken and these tasty pita sandwiches with grilled vegetables and yogurt.
For the weekend we headed upstate to Medusa, New York, where my sister and brother-in-law own five acres in the Catskills. They live in New York City and commute on the weekends to their country property. While continuing their building plans for a Green Home, a very cool 1955 vintage Spartan is where they sleep at this time. They have solar panels for electricity and a well for fresh water. They’ve put in a garden which grows the most amazing organic vegetables, fruits and herbs all summer and well into the fall.
