Steps:
- Place tuna in a bowl, cutting it into several pieces if necessary.
- Add olive oil, the garlic, thyme and lemon peel.
- Cover, and marinate 6 hours, refrigerated or at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Transfer contents of bowl to a saucepan, bring to a simmer, lower heat and cook 5 minutes.
- Shut off heat(tuna will still be pink in middle); let cool 30 minutes.
- Remove tuna (reserving two tablespoons of the olive oil mixture), drain well, transfer to a bowl and mash coarsely with a fork.
- Fold capers, shallots, mustard and sherry vinegar into tuna.
- Whisk the 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with chicken stock and grape seed oil.
- Fold into tuna.
- Season with salt and pepper (mixture should be fairly loose).
- To serve at once, place mounds of tuna on each of 6 salad plates, scatter with more capers and serve with toast/crostini, as a first course.
- Otherwise, refrigerate tuna until 30 minutes before serving; then divide onto plates and serve.
