Cooking instruction summary:

For the burgers: Mix together the veal, shallots, capers, lemon zest, parsley and olive oil. Season with pepper and a little salt (not too much the capers are salty). Taste for seasoningif you dont want to try the mix raw, cook off a teaspoon or so and then taste. Divide the mixture into four and shape into balls. Refrigerate for up to 1 hour. Shape into burgers about 22 1/2 inches in diameter. To make the sauce Whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and anchovies in a food processor until smooth. Then, with the motor running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream. Add half the tuna and the capers. Pulse, just enough to combine, then fold through the remaining tuna. (If making by hand, you may want to coarsely chop the tuna and capers to break them down a little). Finish by whisking in a little vinegar and lemon juice to taste. Chill until required the sauce will keep for up to three days in the refrigerator. For the crispy capers Heat the oil in a small pan. Once hot, carefully add the capers and cook over medium heat until crisp (12 minutes). Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. To cook the burgers Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill. Drizzle burgers with olive oil and cook for 23 minutes on either side, depending on your taste preference.

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
