This tuna burger offers the flavors of a Niçoise salad, on a bun.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pound(s) fresh tuna, diced
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 12 pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon(s) salted capers, rinsed and minced
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
- 1/4 cup(s) mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 teaspoon(s) anchovy paste
- 4 brioche buns, split and toasted

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.
