Ingredients
- 2 piece tuna steaks, about 150 g each
- 2 piece organic eggs
- 150 g organic green beans, trimmed
- 120 g organic little gem or cos leaves
- 100 g organic cherry tomatoes, halved
- 40 g Niçoise or Kalamata olives
- 4 piece anchovy fillets in olive oil
- 4 tbsp organic extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Step-by-step method
- Boil the eggs 7 minutes and the beans 4 minutes; cool both in iced water.
- Mash 2 anchovies into the vinegar and mustard, then whisk in the oil.
- Season the tuna and sear in a very hot pan 1 minute per side, so it stays rare inside.
- Arrange leaves, beans, tomatoes, olives and halved eggs; slice the tuna on top.
- Drizzle with dressing and lay over the remaining anchovies.
Chef’s tips
- Tuna becomes dry when cooked through: sear the outside only.
Variations
