Instructions
Cook the beans, ensuring that they remain crunchy. Drain and refresh under cold water
Add the tomatoes, spinach, onion, olives, half the parsley, salt and pepper.
24 quails eggs, hard boiled for 3 minutes in boiling water, then transferred to cold water
Peel and halve the eggs and mix into the salad. Add the anchovies.
Mix the oil, lemon juice and garlic together and sprinkle all over the salad.
Finally, brush the tuna fish with a little oil and grill (broil) or char-grill until just cooked through.
Place each steak on a bed of salad, sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve or chill until needed.
For a more economical alternative, cook 540 g (180 oz) of fresh tuna then flake the flesh into the salad.
