- 3 6-oz. cans tuna packed in oil, drained
- 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped coarse
- ½ cup each drained bottled pimientos, scallions and fresh cilantro, all chopped
- ¼ cup thinly sliced peperoncini
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 loaves Italian or French bread loaf (about 17 x 3 ½ in. each)

Make filling: In a bowl stir together all filling ingredients until combined well but still chunky. Filling may be made a day ahead, covered and chilled. Halve loaves horizontally with a serrated knife and make 2 large heros with filling and romaine. Cut each hero into 4 sandwiches and wrap each separately in plastic wrap. Chill. Serves 8.
