Valorization of leftovers

Cut the baguette lengthwise and halve it. Deseed the tomatoes and puree them with some basil and oregano. Then season with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture onto the baguette quarters. Drain and shred the tuna, then spread it on the bread. Deseed and dice the bell peppers, slice the onions, and finely chop the garlic. Spread everything over the fish. Season again with pepper, a little salt, and add the remaining basil. Top everything with cheese and bake in the oven until the cheese is lightly browned. This is my typical way of using up leftovers. The baguette doesn’t have to be fresh, and I always have everything else in the house anyway (in case of emergency). You can also easily swap ingredients, e.g., replace bell peppers with cucumber.
