The Famous TUNA SANDWICH from the Basque Country | Bocadillo de Bonito
Spain is famously known for their bocadillos (sandwiches), and this tuna sandwich from the Basque Country, known as “bocadillo de bonito,” is no exception. It’s filled with flavors, super easy to make, and done within minutes with absolutely no cooking.
To make this sandwich, I used Spanish canned tuna in olive oil, known as bonito del norte. Which is all white tuna. Of course, you can use any type of canned tuna you like. Though using the Spanish one truly elevates the flavors of this sandwich.
As for the rest of the ingredients, you will need some canned anchovies in olive oil and some Spanish guindilla peppers, which are very similar to pepperoncini. I also made a simple garlic mayonnaise. Which brings it all together.
