Ingredients

  1. 2 fresh tuna loins (about 200g each)
  2. 4 medium potatoes, peeled and boiled
  3. 150g green beans, trimmed
  4. 4 quail eggs
  5. 1 red capsicum, sliced
  6. 6 radishes, thinly sliced
  7. 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
  8. 50g caperberries
  9. 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing tuna)
  10. 1 egg yolk
  11. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  12. 2 anchovy fillets (optional)
  13. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  14. Juice of 1 lemon
  15. 200ml olive oil
  16. Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

  1. For the garlic aioli dressing: place the egg yolk, mustard, anchovy, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor. Process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add oil in a thin, steady stream
    until the mixture thickens and becomes pale. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Boil the potatoes in a medium saucepan for 8 minutes. Add the beans and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until both are tender. Refresh under cold running water and drain well.
  3. In a separate saucepan, boil the quail eggs for 2 minutes for semi-soft, or until cooked to your liking. Refresh under cold water, peel, and set aside.
  4. Heat a chargrill pan over high heat. Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute on each side for medium-rare or to your preference. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest, then cut into 2cm pieces.
  5. On serving plates, arrange the potatoes, beans, capsicum, radish, tomatoes, and caperberries. Cut the eggs in half and add to the salad along with the tuna. Drizzle with garlic aioli dressing and serve.

Chef's Tip

Tuna Niçoise-style salads are all about freshness and texture. Sear the fresh tuna quickly over very high heat so the outside caramelises while the center stays tender and medium-rare. Crisp vegetables, soft eggs, and sharp caperberries bring balance and brightness, while the garlic aioli adds richness without overpowering the clean flavour of the premium tuna.
