Method
- Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat 1½ tbsp of the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic, onion, oregano, chilli and anchovies and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes. Tip the canned tomatoes into a sieve over a bowl to collect the juices. Add the juices to the pan, then the lemon juice and sugar. Cook until thick, then season.
- Crush the canned tomatoes and add to the sauce with the cherry tomatoes and the potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes until thickened.
- Heat a griddle pan until very hot. Season the tuna, brush it with the rest of the oil and cook for 1 minute on each side. Serve on the warm salad, garnished with chives.
