Italian cold veal in tuna sauce

Tender slices of chilled veal layered with a silky tuna, caper, and anchovy sauce. This Piedmontese classic is cool, refined, and far more elegant than its unusual combination suggests.

Steps

  1. 1

    Place the veal in a pot with the carrot, celery, onion, white wine, and water. Bring gently to a bare simmer.

  2. 2

    Cook very gently for 60 minutes until the veal is tender. Let it cool in the poaching liquid so it stays moist.

  3. 3

    Blend the drained tuna with the mayonnaise, half the capers, anchovies, lemon juice, and olive oil until completely smooth.

  4. 4

    Lift out the veal, chill it thoroughly, then slice it as thinly as possible.

  5. 5

    Arrange the slices on a platter, spoon over the tonnato sauce, scatter with the remaining capers, and chill for 20 minutes before serving.
