Notes
Prep time: includes boiling the eggs. It’s faster if you have your eggs already boiled ...
Roast veal: Think about 50 g veal for each person.
Tuna: You may add some of the olive oil, but not all!
Lemon flavoured oil: You may also add some grated lemon zest & use only plain olive oil.
Greek yoghurt: Instead of the yoghurt & oil mix you may also use mayonnaise (70-80%). Or you may blend fresh eggs & olive oil to make your own mayonnaise. 
The tuna cream is fine in the fridge for at least 1 day.
