Ingredients

  • 12 oz solid white albacore tuna (canned)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1 tbsp crushed hot red peppers (the Italian kind in the jar, not the flakes)
  • 1/2 large banana pepper, chopped
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic powder
  • 1 medium tomato, minced
  • 1/4 medium onion, finely minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 12 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced thin
  • 1 loaf scali bread, sliced

Method

  • Mash and mix together all the ingredients that aren't the bread or the mozzarella.
  • Spread the tuna mixture onto a slice of bread.
  • Add some sliced mozzarella to a different piece of bread.
  • Put both slices food side up into a preheated oven on broil (via a cookie sheet), close the door, and wait five minutes.
  • When the insides are toasted and melty after about five minutes, remove them from heat, and mash them together to make a sandwich.
  • Slice the sandwich across its width, and artfully stack it on a plate to serve.
