These triangular sandwiches are eaten all over the Veneto region as an afternoon snack or as cicchetti (the Venetian version of tapas) with a glass of prosecco. The thin crustless sandwiches filled with colourful creamy fillings are made on a dense soft white bread; sliced potato bread is a good Canadian substitute. 

Ingredients

  • 1 can (6 oz/170 g) tuna, packed in olive oil, drained
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley
  • 1-1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 anchovy fillets, minced
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 8 slices potato bread

Preparation

In bowl, stir together tuna, cream cheese, parsley, lemon juice, anchovies and pepper until creamy. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.)

Spread tuna mixture evenly over 4 slices of the bread. Place remaining slices on top, pressing down lightly. Trim off crusts, squaring edges. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally.

Tramezzini with Egg and Artichoke: Omit tuna filling. Spread 1 side of bread with mayonnaise; top with 4 hard-cooked eggs, sliced, and 1 jar (6 oz/170 mL) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and sliced.

Tramezzini with Fresh Mozzarella:
Cut 1 bocconcini (about 7 oz/200 g) into 8 slices; pat dry. Arrange on bread; top with 1 field tomato, thinly sliced, or 5 oz (150 g) thinly sliced speck or prosciutto.
