Chicken Tonnato
Make a broth from approximately 1 liter of water, the cleaned soup vegetables, onion, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken breasts in it until cooked and then let cool. Reserve the broth. For the sauce, tear the drained tuna into pieces. In a bowl, puree 50 cc of the (cold) cooking broth, the tuna, anchovy fillets, 2 tablespoons of capers, and 2 finely chopped gherkins using a food processor (or in a blender). Press the cooked egg yolks through a fine sieve and mix in. Carefully season with salt and pepper. While blending with a food processor, add the oil in a thin stream until a thick sauce forms, then season with vinegar and lemon juice. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a little more broth. Cut the cold meat into very thin slices and arrange in a fan shape. Cover with the sauce and sprinkle with the remaining capers and thinly sliced gherkins. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours before serving.
