Ingredients

Tuna mayonnaise
  • 5 eggs, hard boiled, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 425 g canned tuna in spring water, drained
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 2 tbsp capers in brine, drained
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • 80 ml extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
To serve
  • 2 thick pieces sourdough
  • capers
  • rocket leaves
  • ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. For the tuna mayonnaise, place the eggs, tuna, lemon juice, capers and anchovies in a food processor and process into a smooth paste. Slowly drizzle in the oil until it forms a thick emulsion.
  2. Preheat a chargrill pan or barbecue. Drizzle the sourdough with olive oil and grill until nicely charred. Allow to cool for just a minute, then generously spoon the thick tuna mayonnaise onto the toasted bread. Scatter with capers and rocket leaves and grind over a bit of black pepper.
