Tuna with Watercress, Asparagus and Crispy OnionsIngredients
- 2 x 120g John West No Drain Tuna Steaks with a little olive oil
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

- 50g fresh watercress
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cooked
- For the dressing
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

Method
- Place a sauté pan on a medium heat and add the olive oil and sauté the onion slices until golden brown and crispy. Put onto kitchen paper and allow to cool.
- To make the dressing, place all the ingredients into a bowl and whisk well, season to taste and set aside.
- Bring a pan of salted boiling water to the boil, break the egg into a cup, whisk the water to a whirlpool and lower the egg into the middle and poach for 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked. Repeat this process for all the eggs.
- Separate the leaves of the little gem lettuce, put into a bowl with the watercress and drizzle with half the dressing. Add the John West No Drain Tuna steaks and toss lightly together.
- Place the warm asparagus on the plate. Put the mixed tuna salad on top then add the poached egg.
- Pile the onion rings on the plate and drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve.
