We paired up with All-Clad to invite chefs from around the country to cook with us in our test kitchen. Today, Chris Hastings, chef of Birmingham, Alabama's Hot and Hot Fish Club, revamps tuna niçoise with their d5 collection.
Take what you know about tuna niçoise and forget it. Okay, okay—don't completely eradicate it from your mind, but we have something better. And it has preserved lemon.
Meet Tuna with a Soft Egg, Lemon, and Capers: A more composed, brighter version of the French salad. Watch as Chris Hastings, executive chef and co-owner of Hot and Hot Fish Club in Birmingham turns the classic on its head by soft-boiling eggs, frying (frying!) capers, and replacing the salad's standard anchovy dressing with a preserved lemon vinaigrette. It's time for a tuna-up.
