TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON



Tuna With Capers, Olives and Lemon image

This is not your mother's mayonnaise-laden tuna salad, but it's just as easy to prepare. Here's what you do: stir together some canned tuna, garlic, lemon juice, red onion, black olives, capers and fresh parsley, then spread it on buttered toast. Top it off with a round of ripe tomato or slivers of avocado and another slice of toast. That's it. If you want to make it into a dip, toss the mixture into a food processor with a few tablespoons of softened butter and a bit more olive oil. Purée until smooth and creamy and serve with carrots, fennel, bell pepper and seeded crackers. If you have a tin of sardines taunting you from inside your cabinet, we bet this recipe would work equally well with those.

Linguine with Grilled Tuna, Capers and Parsley image

Provided by Kristin Donnelly

Categories     Pasta     Tuna     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Parsley     Capers

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 unpeeled garlic cloves
1 large leek, halved and well-rinsed
1 pound fresh tuna, such as yellowfin
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary
12 ounces linguine
2 cups parsley leaves, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon capers, roughly chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
Crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Light a grill and preheat for at least 10 minutes or preheat a grill pan. Arrange the grill so half cooks over high heat and the other half can cook over moderately low heat. Meanwhile, soak 1 small bamboo skewer for 10 minutes.
  • Thread the garlic cloves onto skewer. Brush both sides of the leek and the tuna with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the tuna with the rosemary.
  • Oil the grill grates, then grill the leek cut side down and the tuna over high heat until grill marks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the tuna and leek and move to the cooler part of the grill. Cook until the tuna is just slightly pink within and the leek is tender, about 8 minutes for the tuna and 15 minutes for the leek. Transfer to a work surface and let cool slightly.
  • Grill the garlic on the skewer over high heat, turning a few times, until blistered and slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove the outer layer of the leek and discard; thinly slice the leek crosswise, discarding any pieces that are tough, and transfer to a large bowl. Peel the garlic and finely chop. Flake the tuna and add the garlic and tuna to the leek.
  • Meanwhile, cook the linguine until al dente; drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Add the hot pasta, parsley, capers, lemon juice and the 1/4 cup of olive oil to the bowl and toss. Add the cooking water, little by little, if necessary, to loosen the sauce. Season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper, then serve immediately.

2 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
FOR THE RAITO:
1/3 cup olive oil, extra-virgin
1 onion, medium, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tomato, fresh, ripe, peeled and seeded, then finely chopped

1 bay leaf
1/4 cup olives, black, preferably tiny Nicoise, pitted

Preheat the grill to high.3. While the steaks marinate, prepare the raïto. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the wine, tomato paste, thyme, bay leaf, olives, and capers and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer briskly until the mixture is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.4. Remove the sauce from the heat and discard the thyme sprig and bay leaf. Whisk in the remaining oil and salt and pepper the mixture should be highly seasoned (see Note). Cover and keep the sauce warm.5. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the steaks, facing in the same direction, on the hot grate and grill until cooked to taste, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare, turning over carefully with a long spatula. For an attractive crosshatch of grill marks, rotate the steaks 90 degrees after the first 2 minutes on each side.6. Transfer the steaks to serving plates or a platter and serve immediately, with the sauce spooned on top.Serves 4Note: Chef Guillet likes the refinement of puréeing the sauce in a blender, adding the olives and capers at the end instead of before the sauce is reduced he returns the sauce to the pan just to heat the olives and capers through. Being a robust sort of guy, I like the gutsiness of an unstrained sauce, but purée it, if you so fancy.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tuna Steaks: Opt for sushi-grade tuna steaks that are at least 1 inch thick for optimal grilling results.
  • Proper Seasoning: Generously season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper before grilling. You can also add additional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
  • Achieving the Perfect Sear: Sear the tuna steaks over high heat to create a beautiful crust while keeping the center rare or medium-rare. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the desired doneness.
  • Let the Tuna Rest: Once grilled, let the tuna steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful tuna.
  • Red Wine Caper and Olive Sauce: Prepare the sauce while the tuna is grilling. Sauté shallots and garlic in olive oil, then add red wine, capers, olives, and herbs. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
