TONNATA SAUCE FOR 10 PEOPLE

  • 140 g soy milk
  • 500 g tuna in oil
  • 60 g mustard
  • 20 g vinegar reduction
  • 50 g salted capers (undrained)
  • 20 g anchovies
  • 300 g tuna in oil (drained)
  • 30 g lemon juice
  • 100 g water

Prepare a mayonnaise with the first 4 ingredients, then blend everything together with the remaining ingredients.

VEAL FOR 10 PEOPLE

  • Fassona veal round weighing approximately 1 kg

Cook the Fassona veal round at a low temperature until the internal temperature reaches 51 degrees, then let it cool and refrigerate. Slice into 2 mm-thick slices, arrange on a plate as desired, and cover with the sauce.

PRESENTATION

Finish the dish with caper leaves in oil, caper powder, salad, and drizzle with herb-infused brown stock.

The sauce in this egg-free version will be smoother than a classic tuna mayonnaise.
