Method

  1. Put the egg yolk, tuna and lemon juice in a small food processor or blender and whizz into a paste. With the motor running, gradually drizzle in the oil until it emulsifies into a smooth sauce. Season with salt, pepper and the splash of pickle brine.

  2. Spread the sauce over the base of a serving platter and top with the tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkin seeds and dill. Finish with a final sprinkle of salt and pepper, plus a drizzle of oil. Eat with crusty bread.
