Cook the potatoes with the turmeric in plenty of salted boiling water for 10-12 minutes, until cooked.
Drain carefully, making sure none of turmeric water spills (the stains are a pain to remove!).
Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and while still hot, add the anchovies, capers, preserved lemon, olives and olive oil.
Mix gently and leave to cool.

Add tuna, lemon juice, peppers, egg and parsley.
Season with black pepper and toss gently. Taste and add salt if it needs it.

Spread harissa inside baguette, line with cos lettuce and fill.
