Cold roast turkey, sliced
Handful of baby rocket leaves
1 tablespoon salted capers, rinsed, drained
2 tablespoons diced mustard fruits

Tonnato sauce

125g canned good-quality tuna in oil
3 anchovy fillets
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2-3 tablespoons chicken or vegetable stock
1 teaspoon horseradish cream or relish
1 tablespoon salted capers, rinsed, drained

Method

1.

To make the tonnato sauce, puree the tuna, anchovies, lemon juice, stock, horseradish and capers in a blender or food processor. Add the mayonnaise and pulse to combine. The sauce should be a thick, pouring consistency. Pour into a jug or bowl and refrigerate until required.
2.

Arrange the turkey slices on a platter, then pour or spoon the tonnato sauce over the slices. Scatter with a few baby rocket leaves, the drained capers and diced mustard fruits, then serve.
