Poach two tuna slices in a fish stock. They
may still be a little rosé inside. Let them cool
off completely when drained and then put them
covered in the refrigerator..
In the meantime, make the other preparations:
chop two shallots, make 2 hard-boiled eggs, let
them cool off and chop them finely. Chop fresh
wild garlic leaves and a few stems of chives.
Mix a few tablespoons of mayonnaise with a
tablespoon of mustard. Season with piment
d'Espelette and a twist from the pepper mill.
tuna salad
with wild garlic
Crumble the tuna in the cutter. Now mingle the
mustard mayonnaise with chopped shallot,
drained capers, minced egg, crumbled tuna,
chives and wild garlic. Adjust the flavor with
lime juice and a pinch of salt.
If necessary, add another spoonful of
mayonnaise if the result seems too "dry". The
result must be a smooth mass. It is best kept
in a closed container and used as a sandwich
spread.

Wild garlic is only available for a short
period of time in March and April. It is rarely
found in the commercial offer of food shops.
Those who have it in their vegetable garden
should count themselves lucky, because the
taste of this plant is very refined and fits
both in cold preparations such as this tuna
salad, as well as in hot sauces or dishes.
