    quail eggs tonnato

    Everybody knows vitello tonnato, the famous starter with veal and tuna fish sauce. For the Easter menu, I created this combination with quail eggs and tuna fish as a starter. And I named it "quail eggs tonnato".

    Ingredients (for 8 persons):

    • 2 cans of tuna fish
    • 1 can of anchovies
    • 8 pieces of sun-dried tomatoes in oil
    • small capers
    • 16 quail eggs
    • 16 cherry tomatoes
    • rucola salad
    • 2 tablespoons of lemon mayonnaise
    • a little bit of lemon juice
    • olive oil

    Method:

    • Cook the quail eggs for three minutes.
    • Cool them under cold water and peel them.
    • Open the cans with tuna and let them drain.
    • Blend the sun-dried tomatoes to a paste.
    • Mix them with the tuna fish, together with the capers, the mayonnaise and the lemon juice. If it is too dry, add some extra mayonnaise.
    • Halve the cherry tomatoes and 8 quail eggs.
    • Drizzle the rucola salad with some olive oil.
    • Arrange on the plates, with some pepper if you want.
