Method

Cut the tuna fillet into dice about 1 cm square; lightly pound them, this will be the tartare. Dress the tartare with salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil and chives.

Cook the cleaned endive in a frying pan in the extra virgin olive oil with the garlic, chili pepper and anchovies. Let the endive sweat over low heat and then add the capers and olives. 

Cut the spring onions julienne and leave them to soak in cold water for about 1 hour, then drain them and sauté them with the garlic in extra virgin olive oil. Add the white wine and let it evaporate. Season with salt and pepper and blend to a smooth cream.
