Lettuce leaves or mesclun
Extra virgin olive oil

* If you can find tuna in jars, it's better, because the fish is in thick, chunky "sticks".

Method:
- Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and add the green beans. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the beans are just cooked. Drain and refresh in cold water.
- Arrange a bed of lettuce leaves (or mesclun) on a plate. Arrange the potato slices on top.
- Put the tuna in the middle of the potatoes and drizzle with abundant olive oil.
- Put the anchovies on top of the tuna and scatter the capers over the top.
- Arrange the quartered tomatoes, the olives and the quartered eggs (which I forgot to add before I took the picture
) around the dish. Put the green beans on one side. - Season with salt and pepper, scatter a few basil leaves on top, drizzle with the vinegar and eat before anyone else does.
