Serves 4
1 carrot, roughly chopped
1 small onion, roughly chopped
1 celery stick, roughly chopped
1 sprig of fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
500 g lean veal rump
Handful of caperberries to serve
For the tuna mayonnaise
2 large egg yolks
3 tbsp lemon juice
300 ml olive oil
5 anchovy fillets
200 g canned tuna
3 tbsp small capers
Salt
Put all the vegetables and herbs in a large pan. Cover with water and bring to the boil. Add the veal, reduce the heat and cook for 45 minutes to one hour so that the meat is cooked but remains pink in the middle. Remove from the heat and allow the veal to cool in the cooking juices.
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the lemon juice and a little salt. Gradually whisk in the olive oil a few drops at a time at first, then pour it in steadily in a thin stream until you have a thick and glossy mayonnaise.
Put the anchovies, tuna and capers in a food processor and blitz together. Fold this mixture into the mayonnaise.
Slice the veal thinly and place a layer of slices in a large flat dish. Add a layer of the tuna sauce, then keep building alternate layers, finishing with a layer of sauce. Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, return the veal to room temperature and garnish with caperberries.
