Seared Yellowfin Tuna Nicoise with Salsa Verde



Here’s one for the long weekend. Many of you would have had holiday’s booked, which got me thinking. If we can’t go on holiday for the foreseeable future, then the holidays will have to come to us! For a minute as I sat in my garden over the weekend I was transported to the South of France with all of these beautiful Provençal flavours. Let’s enjoy this amazing weather while it lasts, pour yourself a glass of pale Côtes de Provence Rosé and pretend you are in the gorgeous Côte d’Azur!
