For the sauce
6 medium tomatoes (720 g), peeled and seeded
4 cloves of garlic
Lemon juice from 1 lemon
1/4 cup of chopped parsley
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of salt or to taste
Prepare the dough: in a processor, finely chop the tuna fillets
Transfer to a bowl and place over a cold water bath
Add the egg whites and, with an electric handheld mixer, beat until a thick paste forms and all the egg white has been absorbed
Gradually add the heavy cream while on low speed, beating until fully incorporated into the mixture
Season with salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper, and mix
Let the bowl sit over the cold water bath for 1 hour
Preheat oven to 180°C (medium)
Grease an English-style loaf pan of 11 cm x 25 cm with oil
Pour the mixture into the greased loaf pan and cover with buttered parchment paper also greased with oil
Place in a preheated oven with a water bath (do not put it in the oven, pour boiling water into an empty baking dish to reach 2/3 of its height) until a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean (about 25 minutes)
Remove from the oven and water bath, let cool and demold
Make the sauce: cut the tomatoes in half
Remove the pulp with seeds and pass through a sieve, reserving the juice in a medium pan
Discard the seeds and add to the pan the tomato halves and other ingredients
Cover and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes
Blend the sauce in a blender until smooth
Return the sauce to the pan and reheat over medium heat
Serve the cake with the sauce on top
