Method
- Cut the tuna into slices, then into small pieces.
- Chop the tuna finely with a knife or mezzaluna.
- Lightly whip one egg white until semi-stiff peaks.
- To the chopped tuna, add the semi-whipped egg white, finely chopped anchovies, capers, and salt. Mix well. Add more egg white if needed to bind.
- Form the mixture into a patty with oiled hands. Wrap in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Caramelize the onion: in a pan with olive oil, add sliced onion, a pinch of sugar, white vinegar, a garlic clove, and chili. Cook until soft and golden.
- Add the escarole to the same pan and cook until wilted and tender. Set aside.
- Toss pre-roasted peppers with oregano, olive oil, and salt for the marinated peppers.
- Toast the burger buns in a pan with a little oil until golden.
- Prepare two sauces: a green sauce with parsley and sun-dried tomato; a spicy sauce with chili oil.
- Cook the tuna patty: in a pan with olive oil, sear on both sides until nicely browned on the outside, leaving the center slightly rare.
- Spread mustard on the inside of the toasted buns.
- Assemble: on the bottom bun, spread some sauce, then escarole, then the tuna patty, then marinated peppers, then caramelized onion, then more sauce. Close with the top bun.
