The Greens Cookbook by Deborah Madison. A pan bagnat is a hard roll hollowed out and filled with whatever you like. This is a vegetarian version, but feel free to add meat if your a carnivore, like me. This is best if served an hour after preparation to allow the roll to soak up the flavorful dressing.

How to make it
- Prepare the vinaigrette and set aside:
- Basil Vinaigrette Directions:
- Puree the basil and garlic in a blender with olive oil. Scrape it into a bowl, stir in the cheese, and then add the vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Pan Bagnat Directions:
- Cut the cores out of the tomatoes, slice them in half horizontally, and gently squeeze out the seeds and juice. Chop them coarsely into pieces about 1/2-inch square.
- Combine the tomatoes with the other vegetables and the pine nuts, and dress with the vinaigrette. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Slice off the top third of each roll. Pull out the soft bread inside (save it for bread crumbs if you like). Take care to leave the bottom of the roll intact. Layer the vegetables and the cheese into the hollowed rolls and replace the tops.
- Press down the sandwich; then wrap it and set it aside. Serve now or wait an hour for the the flavors to merge and develop.
