1For the fried capers, dry the capers well and chop them roughly. Heat the neutral oil in a pan and fry the capers, covering the pan with a paper towel to prevent splashing. Once crispy, drain on paper towels.
2In a food processor, mince the capers and optional anchovies. Add the tuna, lemon juice, and mayonnaise and process into a paste.
3Remove the paste from the food processor and gently fold in the sour cream.
4Season the sauce with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and a few drops of caper water until flavorful.
5Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a plate, spread the tuna sauce over them, and garnish with fresh herbs and shaved parmesan.

Tips
The tuna cream can be made a day or two in advance.
Serve with white bread, baguette, or focaccia.
For a richer sauce, use only mayonnaise, though the creator prefers the lighter version with sour cream.
If you don't have beefsteak tomatoes, San Marzano tomatoes are highly recommended.
