Red pepper purée Roast the red pepper in the oven for 30 minutes at 170 °C. Once roasted, peel and mash with a teaspoon of salt. Set aside.

The aim is to obtain four purées of similar texture and different colours.
PREPARATION
3/
Mashed potato Boil the peeled potatoes until cooked. Blend them in a blender with 50 ml of olive oil and 50 ml of cooking water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Poached eggs Boil water in a saucepan and, when it begins to boil, lower the heat until it is slightly bubbling (85-90 ºC). Add a tablespoon of vinegar (optional, it helps the egg white coagulate faster). Break the egg into a small bowl for easy pouring. Create a whirlpool in the water with a spoon and gently pour the egg into the centre. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the egg white is set and the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
Tuna mayonnaise In a blender glass, add an egg and the oil from the can of tuna. Emulsify like a traditional mayonnaise. Adjust salt.
Finish and presentation Place a spoonful of mashed potato at the base of the plate or bowl. Place the egg on top and cover with the tuna mayonnaise.

Place a spoonful of each of the vegetable purées on top, forming the desired decoration.
