Vegetarian pan bagnat without fish; just vegetables, eggs, and olive oil.
Vegetarian pan bagnat without fish; just vegetables, eggs, and olive oil.
Traditional pan bagnat following strict Niçoise recipe: no lettuce, specific vegetables, local olive oil.
Oil-packed tuna flaked from the tin turned a poor fisherman's anchovy sandwich into a beach staple. The one rule: nothing in a pan-bagnat is ever cooked, every vegetable goes in raw.
A salade niçoise sealed into a round oiled loaf and made to wait: tuna or anchovy, egg, olives, tomato, dressed in olive oil, weighted, and rested until the bread drinks the dressing and softens.
