Steps:

• 1 To make the Provençal vinaigrette, in a blender, combine the lemon juice, mustard, garlic and olive oil and blend until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. You will need about 1/4 cup of vinairgrette for the sandwiches. Reserve the remaining vinaigrette for another use. 2 Season the tuna on both sides with salt and pepper. 3 In a fry pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil until almost smoking. Add the tuna and cook, turning once, until the fish is well browned on the outside and still red in the center, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the tuna to a cutting board and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. 4 Drizzle 1 teaspoon vinaigrette onto the bottom of each baguette. Top with the arugula, tuna, eggs, bell peppers, tomatoes and olives, dividing evenly. Top each sandwich with 2 anchovy fillets and drizzle with 1 teaspoon vinaigrette. Cover the sandwiches with the tops of the baguettes. 5 Serves 6.
