For the Sherry Vinaigrette

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, let cool, then slice into rounds.

2

Cook the Haricots Verts

In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the haricots verts for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and cool in ice water.

3

Boil Quail Eggs

Bring a small pot of water to a boil, gently add quail eggs, and boil for 4 minutes. Remove, cool in cold water, then peel.

4

Make the Sherry Vinaigrette

In a bowl, whisk together sherry vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Grilling the Tuna

5

Grill the Tuna Steaks

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

Assembly

6

Plate the Dish

On a serving plate, arrange the grilled tuna, sliced potatoes, haricots verts, cherry tomatoes, anchovies, olives, and capers. Halve the quail eggs and place on top. Drizzle with sherry vinaigrette.
