Tuna Niçoise Tartine

Adapted from Bouchon by Thomas Keller

In Bouchon Keller provides recipes for a variety of tartines, or opened faced sandwiches.  I decided to start with the Tuna Niçoise Tartine.  This gives an everyday tuna sandwich an elegant twist.  I’m a huge fan of a incise salad, with all the flavorful items that join the tuna to create a satisfying lunch or dinner.  This tartine has a lot of components, but it’s well worth the effort of chopping and prepping for this delicious open-faced sandwich.  If you don’t like a certain topping, leave it out or replace it.  You can make the tartine your own.

Asparagus, Fontina, and Aioli Pizza

I had some, ok a lot, of extra aioli from making Tuna Tartines from Thomas Keller’s Bouchon cookbook, so I took a stab at making a pizza bianco (white pizza).  I think it’s one of the best pizzas I’ve made so far.  While I’m usually not one to jump at a pizza with a white sauce, I’ll definitely be making this one again soon!

Aioli

Aioli is a garlic mayonnaise.  For a nice rich aioli, make your own from scratch.  However, this does require using raw eggs.  If you need to avoid raw eggs, make the aioli with store bought mayonnaise.  It’s great as a sauce, condiment, or dip.  Spread it on sandwiches, use it as a dip for fresh steamed artichokes, or as a sauce on pizza (more to come on that tomorrow).
