1.
Soak the lentils in cold water overnight. During preparation, cook the lentils in lightly salted water with saffron until tender. Drain and set aside to cool. Carefully clean the tuna, removing all tendons and skin. Dice finely and place in a large chilled bowl. Wash the lime thoroughly and grate its zest over the tuna using a fine grater.
