Ingredients

  • 400 g fresh tuna steaks
  • olive oil to try and make dressing
  • balsamic vinegar
  • 2-4 hard boiled eggs (depending how much you want!
  • 250 g new potatoes
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 40 g anchovies
  • 12 pitted black olives
  • 2 big tomatoes sliced
  • 1/2 red onion sliced into thin half moons
  • 100 g green beans topped and tailed
  • Seasoning
  • fresh salad leaves

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the tuna steaks for around 3 minutes each side until cooked through. Remove from the pan and flake into pieces.
  • Meanwhile in separate pans boil the new potatoes until cooked and boil the eggs until they'll be just beyond a soft boil - admittedly I'm very bad at gauging this.
  • Lightly cook the beans in a third pan.
  • Drain the cooked potatoes and beans, peel the hard boiled eggs and cut into halves or quarters.
  • In a large bowl arrange all of the ingredients before drizzing with a mix of oil and balsamic vinegar beaten together. Grind with black pepper and serve preferably outdoors!
