Rinse the veal under cold water. Add it to boiling salted water with the bay leaves, cloves, and quartered onions, and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours. After the cooking time, let it cool in the stock. For the sauce, drain the tuna thoroughly and then puree it with a little lemon juice. Mix with the mayonnaise and crème fraîche. Finely chop 1 tablespoon of capers and stir into the mixture with salt and pepper. Remove the meat from the stock, pat dry, and cut into very thin slices. This works best with a bread slicer or slicing machine. Spread the sauce on the slices, sprinkle with a few capers. Roll up the meat and secure with a toothpick. For decoration, thread a caper onto the toothpick. Serve on a platter. Tip: Serve with sliced ​​baguette. The rolls can then be eaten with or without bread, as desired.
