Ingredients
500g Potatoes, anya or pink fir-apple potatoes, halved
200g fine green beans
12 quail's eggs
1 romaine lettuce, shredded (heart only)
400g canned tuna, in spring water, drained


For the dressing:
1 tbsp capers, roughly chopped
1 mild red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
1 small garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp Olive oil
1 lime, grated rind and juice

Method
1. Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 15 minutes, adding the beans to the pan for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time.

2. Meanwhile, cook the eggs in a pan of boiling water for 4 minutes. Drain well and cool under running water until completely cold.

3. To make the dressing, stir together the capers, chilli, garlic, olive oil and lime rind and juice, adding salt and pepper to taste.
