Serves 6
Ingredients
6 x 180 g yellowfin tuna steaks
olive oil
6 eggs
2 teaspoons vinegar
Champ
6 large Desiree potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup milk
1/2 cup cream
120 g butter
1/2 bunch spring onions, thinly sliced diagonally
2 tablespoons capers
salt and pepper
Lemon and caper sauce
1 tablespoon butter
1 whole salted lemon (preserved lemon)
1 tablespoon capers
1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper

For serving:
30 g capers, washed

Method
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil, reduce to a simmer, add vinegar, then break eggs onto a plate and slide into water. Cook for 3 minutes or until white is set but yolk is still soft. Remove and drain on kitchen paper or refresh in iced water and reheat just before serving.
Heat a heavy-based pan to high and add enough olive oil to coat the base. Sear tuna 2-3 minutes each side until medium rare. Remove from pan and rest 1 minute before serving.

Champ
Boil potatoes until tender and then mash. Bring milk, cream and butter to boil then gradually stir into the potatoes until they acquire a light, smooth consistency. Fold in spring onions and capers. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Lemon and caper sauce
Heat butter in a small saucepan until nut brown in colour. Remove and discard flesh from lemon, wash skin well and dice finely. Whisk in butter and remaining ingredients and season to taste.
Place a large spoonful of champ on each plate, rest fish on side and top with warm poached egg. Drizzle with lemon and caper sauce and garnish with extra capers if desired.
