The combination of meat and fish in one dish seems strange and too avant-garde only at first glance. One of the most famous dishes in which they are combined easily and casually is the Italian appetizer vitello tonnato, that is, veal with tuna sauce. Here, the pulp of canned tuna plays the role of a spice, adding the right flavor accent to the bland meat. The same sauce will work well with thinly beaten slices of boiled turkey or chicken breast, and if you want to do without the meat component altogether , then with cauliflower carpaccio or thinly sliced zucchini.
