Tuna Nicoise Burgers

Tuna Nicoise Burgers
This tuna burger offers the flavors of a Nicoise salad, on a bun.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4  pounds fresh tuna, diced
  • 2   scallions, thinly sliced
  • 12   pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
  • 1   tablespoon salted capers, rinsed and minced
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
    1/4  cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  anchovy paste
  • 4   brioche buns, split and toasted
    Sliced tomatoes and arugula, for serving

Directions:

1. Spread the tuna, scallions, olives and capers on a plate and freeze for 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until the tuna is finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into four 4-inch patties.
2. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Brush the burgers with olive oil and grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden and crusty and just cooked through, about 6 minutes.
3. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise and anchovy paste; spread on the buns. Top with the burgers, tomato and arugula, close and serve.
