Make incredibly delicious Mediterranean-style burgers with a tuna patty and tapenade-aioli sauce. To ensure the patties hold their shape, it's best to chop the tuna fillet into pieces rather than mince it. The smoked chipotle peppers add a special piquant flavor to the patties. Grill the well-chilled patties on a grill or in a grill pan, place them on crispy ciabatta, and drizzle with tapenade-aioli sauce. This is a loose combination of two French sauces: tapenade and aioli. Tapenade—a paste made from olives and capers—is complemented by a flavorful aioli—a sauce made from garlic, eggs, and olive oil, which in the original recipe is very similar to garlic mayonnaise.

- In a bowl, combine the tuna, Dijon mustard, chipotle mustard, oil, honey, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 8 round, uniform patties, approximately 3.5 cm thick. Refrigerate them for 30 minutes (to prevent the patties from falling apart during frying, they need to be thoroughly chilled).
