- Vitello tonnato - thinly sliced veal served with a tuna-based sauce
For the veal
Components
- 600 grams of veal sirloin
- 4 tablespoons of oil
- 1/2 cup of dry white wine
- One-third of a teaspoon of salt
- One-third of a tea cup of onion
- 1/3 cup of leek-poro (tea)
- One can of tuna
Setup mode
- Set the oven to 180°C (moderate heat).
- Heat a frying pan with oil over high heat for 2 minutes. Once hot, add the loin and sear each side for 1 minute.
- On a cutting board, chop the vegetables into large cubes.
- Arrange the vegetables, tuna, and wine on a baking sheet. Place the golden loin on top, cover with aluminum foil, and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Allow it to cool and then eliminate all the fat from the meat, ensuring it is entirely clean.
For the dressing
Components
- grilled vegetables
- 2 tablespoons of capers
Setup phase
- In the blender, blend the vegetables and tuna from the baking tray. Add the capers and, if necessary, pour in a bit more wine to achieve a very thick sauce. Strain through a sieve and set aside.
Meeting
Components
- 2 tablespoons of mild paprika
- 4 teaspoons of parsley
- 4 teaspoons of capers
- 10 small lettuce leaves
Setup phase
- Using a sharp knife, slice the veal thinly on a cutting board.
- Place a small mound of lettuce leaves in the center of each plate, arrange 10 slices around it, and then place 4 slices on top of the lettuce. Leave a gap in the middle to add 1 tablespoon of sauce. Drizzle 4 tablespoons of sauce over the slices. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of capers, 1 teaspoon of parsley, and half a teaspoon of paprika. Your dish is now ready to serve.
